I don’t get your point. Sure, the World Wide Web is only one part of the internet, but that doesn’t invalidate Cisco’s claim in any way.
Ya know, I was gonna say that, but decided, “no, it’s not classy”.
:dubious:
I feel horrible, but my first answer was going to be, ‘indoor plumbing?’ Seriously though it might help to understand what’s kept him away for so long. What’s this person’s level of technical expertise and experience with computers otherwise?

Really… How do you not go near the net until a few months ago? Its been around for a while now… My grandparents, at 81 years old and not fully being aware that you don’t have to check your e-mail at specific times (that was an interesting conversation… they assumed it was “closed” at some hours)… My granddad got hooked on golf and anti-democrat newsletters and my grandma figured out that recipes were on the thing.
