    As a non-techie: websites are the internet.

    Like, I conceptualize the internet as basically just a giant shared network, but the point of it is the websites (for me).

    I apologize to anyone I may have just gravely offended.

      lol

      I don’t know how “non-techie” you are, but a good example is online games. When you’re playing Fortnite, Roblox, World of Warcraft, etc you’re not going to a web page, but you’re on the internet.

        I straight up almost called it a series of tubes, lol.

        Yeah, that’s probably why I do think of it as a shared network, I just don’t play online games, so that’s not what I associate with the internet.

          There are other examples but I take your point.
