    Looking at the inverted pyramid thing, that’s not really the Internet. That’s whatever that fish bowl network smartphones use.

      That would be the Internet. POTS was replaced a long time ago, pretty much all cell towers use a fiber backhaul now.

        Kind of but smartphones are still in their own little universe. I don’t buy a website from a store like it’s a word processor and install it on my desktop. And that pyramid is specifically focused on phones and how they all interconnect. Laptops and desktops aren’t even mentioned. Using the Internet on a phone is way different than using it on a desktop. It’s like swimming in a bathtub.

          They really aren’t but I am also not following how things like “every website that shows time” has anything do do with phones.
