Is the internet really 5,000 days old?

Hello lovely readers. Can I pick your brains? When Kevin Kelly says the internet is 5,000 days old does he mean the web? Is there a significant difference?

Nightmare here. I’m in a tower built in 1720 in the middle of an English wood. The mobile doesn’t work and the nearest internet connection is wi-fi in McDonalds 20-mins drive away. I’d ask for a reply on a postcard but there’s no postbox either.

PS – I bought a vodafone ‘dongle’ (mobile internet thingy) but it doesn’t work with my version of Mac OSX. I could download a new version but I can’t get on the internet (web?) without the dongle. Classic.
