Today we-re going to discuss the World Wide Web - not to be confused with the Internet, which is the underlying plumbing for the web as well as other networks. The World Wide Web is built on the foundation of simply linking pages to other pages with hyperlinks, but it is this massive interconnectedness that makes it so powerful. But before the web could become a thing, Tim Berners-Lee would need to invent the web browser at CERN, and search engines would need to be created to navigate these massive directories of information. By the mid 1990-s we will see the rise of Yahoo and Google and monolithic websites like Ebay and Amazon, forming the web we know today. But before we end our unit on the Internet we want to take a moment to discuss the implications of Net Neutrality, and its potential to shape the Internet's future

anyone arguing against net neutrality is a shill or has no idea what they're talking about.
There is literally no one on the otherside of this argument, I don't know why you presented it like there is two sides. the only people arguing against it is lobbiest and ISP's who want to further enforce their monopolies. Or they're actual idiots who don't care about the internet and that's okay but we shouldn't listen to them, their opinion is as valid as flat earthers.

If you have 1 internet provider in your area, you should focus your attention on this problem rather than net neutrality. Is there anything that prevents healthy market competition, like exclusive agreements with local goverments, for example? Is there something that prevents smaller ISPs from coming to the market?
Because without competition net neutrality won't help, you'll still be paying for shitty and overpriced service from a monopolist.

Abstraction barriers. As computer science educators you had to put violation of abstraction barrier higher than any economical or political argument. Punching a hole from application layer down into networking layer is going to create a huge mess of complexity that will get only worse over time. I know it's two years late, but it's such a shame that you, Crash Course, missed that point. Great series otherwise!

Dear Carrie, I really like the way you pace your videos - normally I can't stay focused on a technical video but yours are great - my attention is held and i am remembering what I learn - thank you!

-Would leave their ISP and get another. - Like who? The big boys have it locked up, and they don't play fair. You are stuck with one ISP, maybe 2 if your lucky.

How can you vote with your dollars by leaving unethical companies, when there are no alternatives, and the alternatives are stifled by the larger companies?

Great video! This is the stuff my professor was talking about in my CS class last week. Also I hope you guys can make a separate video about net neutrality-.

I know you avoided talking about persons but I would love to see what you'd make for Radia Perlman and the Spanning Tree Protocol.

That moment when you realize your learning about a topic to do it all yourself and not have terrible internet, in the middle of nowhere.

1990 for the first spec? Hmm. It'd be interesting to try to write some really early spec HTML and see what happens in a current browser.
