what the does file transfer protocol have to do with anything? lol. hell, I dont have FTP right now.
And being connected to the internet, "generally" still doesnt matter if you have no software to interpret the data being received. You have to either have a GUI type program like IE, Netscab, or Opera or a text based thing like gopher and other linux stuff. Technically, i could be connected to the internet if I crammed an ethernet cable in my ear, but it would do me absolutely no good.
Again, we are talking colloquialisms. "connected" usually means being able to receive and interpret data. A higher connectivity would allow you to transmit data in a form others could interpret in addition to receiving and decoding. Now the aforementioned scanner does both. It can get and send stuff. It is a pretty high tech tool. I think people take the internet for granted just because they can double click on an E and have access to every bit of information on earth in full sound, color, and text.
LITERALLY speaking, connected to the internet could mean a physical connection (the cable in the ear) or mere transmit/receive function. My point of being "connected" would have to mean something different to a person, because if they cannot interact with the data, the PERSON becomes the tool and not the internet. People who do cycle counts are tools. People who check inventory are tools.
thats my point. Dont be a tool.
also You MUST be able to interact if you are to "connected" in the sense that people talk about.
Like I said, "connected to the internet" could mean a lot of things. |
" what the does file transfer protocol have to do with anything? lol. hell, I dont have FTP right now."
It was an example, like the barcode scanner. :rolleyes:
Still, you are one of those people that can go on and on type a large paragraph, and in the end say absolutely nothing. Yes, if you want to be stupid and say if you have no capable device of using an internet connection you are not then connected to the internet. But that is not the point.
"Again, we are talking colloquialisms. "connected" usually means being able to receive and interpret data."
Not usually. Always.
"You have to either have a GUI type program like IE, Netscab, or Opera or a text based thing like gopher and other linux stuff. Technically, i could be connected to the internet if I crammed an ethernet cable in my ear, but it would do me absolutely no good."
Yes an interface or conduit is required for the connection to be of use. But just because a system ACCESSES the internet connection does not make the internet connection an internet connection. Thats like saying electricity isn't electricity until you plug something in.
Your point is thoroughly null. |

Actually you just gave me a way to prove my point even better.
you could use a piece of metal with two prongs and tap into the electricity, but it wouldnt do except electrocute you and there would be really no purpose for you as a person to use such a device. Unless you got paid to plug pieces of metal into a plug, much like a person scanning UPC codes, because like a plug, a human cant do with UPCs OR electricity. So basically, im still right, in an uber sense. |

Actually I think we are fighting for two different ideas. You are saying that internet isn't internet unless you can use it. I guess thats a simple neanderthol way of thinking about it, but whatever does it for ya. But thats wrong
because there is still electricity/connection there. Its an intellectual idea. You think that if you can't see it, it doesn't exist. But it does. I guess this issues is the whole, if a tree falls and nobody hears it.. did it fall? A server has no monitor, and it can't browse the web, but it has access to the internet. It may have no reason to utillize the access but it still has it. If I've got you wrong, then you need to explain yourself better.
If you pay your your bill, and the cable modem is lit up, there is internet there. It may not be of use , but IT IS THE SAME INTERNET EITHER WAY. Whether or not it is connected to anything. Now if your mind is simple and you need to see to believe, well then you are stupid.

| actually your definition of the "internet" or shoudl i say "THE internet" is rather troglodytic. You assume that there is only 1 internet in the world, the world wide web, while I am saying there are thousands if not millions of internets all around the world. My first thing that I was talking about was the difference between AN internet and THE internet, a concept which obviously escapes you. |

That is serious bull ^^. When you pay for 'internet access' you are paying for the bandwith and usage of a network of millions of computers. There is ONE internet. "An interconnected system of networks that connects computers around the world via the TCP/IP protocol." That clearly states that internet is the term that defines the network as a whole. There is one internet period. Don't pull this bull saying I'm wrong. There are intranets, and lans, but in the world there is the internet. If you believe differently you are the troglodytic one. You need to brush up on your networking.

actually...you are still wrong.
An interconnected system of networks that connects computers around the world via the TCP/IP protocol.
thats the dictionary definition.
That includes things such as a Microsoft, IBM, dell, adobe, and a million other companies Intranets which happens to be external to the one you are using. just by paying for a subscription you DO NOT gain access to these internets. You are wrong. Give up.
ps am MCSE and was a net admin for 2 years. I have lots more, if you want to get technical. which I doubt you can. |
