Why is the web a web?
It is proper for the Ontario Emperor Empoblog to consider the question - why is the web a web? Why is it not a highway? (Whoops, it is.)

Actually, Tim Berners-Lee states: "I wrote in 1990 the first GUI browser, and called it "WorldWideWeb". It ran on the NeXT computer. (I much later renamed the application Nexus to avoid confusion between the first client and the abstract space itself)."

This of course raises the question of a mini-web - say, the oempoweb. Well, it raised the question with ME.
