"This is one of the more ridiculous claims you've made. It is laugh out loud funny." How so? "The browser came into existence when "visual" computing was in its infancy. " Your point? " There were dozens of networking protocols in use, any number of which might have evolved into something equivalent to, perhaps better than, TCP/IP." Or worse. We don't know. "Assuming, arguendo, that the browser was a result of this one specific protocol, the notion that it was "one man's idea" and nobody else would have conceived it is just ridiculous." Per usual, you have constructed a straw man. I never made those arguments. I did make the argument that certain key developments paved the way to what we have now. Would we have had something if those things didn't happen? Likely. Would it have been better? I dunno. It very well could have turned out worse. This is just a typical "I want to say you are wrong but I can't articulate something that is actually wrong" post that you engage in from time to time.
