The godchild was in a table quiz tonight and he won! we were all surprised. while we were going home he asked a question about the internet - basically claiming that the internet was invented in 1990. I had to correct him, of course that it was the world wide web. Then I decided to explain the 7 layer OSI model to him. I think he regretted having made the slight factual error at the beginning. In the end, I explained to him that the web operated as a level 7 protocol; or in the parlance of Arthur C. Clarke; is indistinguishable from magic. It would have driven him to sleep if it wasn't for the vast amount of soda he had consumed.
