One of the scientists who had conceived of the Internet in the '60s actually called it, in a paper that he wrote, "the galactic Internet." And then the term "world wide web" really, I think, got invented in the early 1970s. But initially, we were starting with a handful of computers that were connected in San Francisco and Switzerland and Great Britain, and eventually, this interconnected web has continued to grow. Now the web has so many threads to it, it's just unimaginable. But again, we're talking about a completely decentralized network, so all nodes are connected to all other nodes.
