"the web" is not technologically synonymous with "the internet", but it is often colloquially interchangeable. the fact that we use this language to describe the most significant technology in the past generation is proof that all technology made in the past 25 years has been carefully designed at great cost in order to make corporations and billionaires richer. otherwise, software would still be sold and not rented, and your computer would talk to your friend's computer without taking a thousand mile detour to some corporate computer that just had to involve itself for some reason.
