And those websites have dramatically changed how we interact with the Internet.
You can keep passing the praise down the line until we say metal workers revitalized the Internet but from a user perspective, websites and other interactions are key. The average person isn't really going to care about the history of the WWW because it doesn't matter. What matters is how quickly they can get to A to B while receiving the most amount of information which YouTube and Google provide.
This makes no sense. I literally praised the creation of WWW which allowed for all the things you're talking about. All websites that start with "www" are part of the revolutionary change I was talking about. What you are talking about is better database management to allow for better search results; as well as data mining accounts to get better results. None of those things have to do with the internet.
That's why I said I think we have a fundamental difference (sorry I used misunderstanding before) of what the internet is.
