"By your definition of the Internet which relies on the protocol. Your making a circular argument." It isn't my definition of the Internet. It wasn't called the Internet until the late 1980s. What we think of as the Internet is actually the world wide web. There are other parts, like Usenet, ftp and email. It used to have things like Archie and gopher. Other features very well may appear in the future. "And if it hadn't existed they would be decedents of something else." And the Internet would be a different place. It might be smaller, it might be larger. It almost certainly wouldn't be what we know today.
