I haven't heard anyone use the term "the web".  It's usually  
referred to "the net", or "the EEEnrnet".

But websites are still referred to as WEBsites, and not  
NETsites.

I used "dub dub dub" when communicating the "www" parts in a web  
address years ago.  And even that is depricated now.

Back to your question.. it's the thing that allows systems to  
exchange data when connected to systems all over the world. It  
used to be something that used TCP/IP, but now there are many  
other ways to connect and exchange stuff I suppose.

The internet is a ubiquitous thing by now. I doubt that people  
care what it really is and how it works.  They just want to turn  
on their computers or devices and go.

BTW.. There is a nation-wide cell/data disruption with Rogers.  
Their discount service Chatr is affected too.

 "We sincerely apologize to our customers. We know connectivity
 is critical and are working hard to restore services for
 customers who continue to experience wireless interruptions.
 Residential and business wireline internet services are not
 impacted. We will continue to provide updates."

The first signs of the disruption started around 1am EDT today.

Other carriers seem to be affected somewhat too.

Folks using cell/data for their internet access, can't.
