When I think of memos, letters, and presentations, I picture inter-office communication. Although the three forms of communications can be digital and emailed to the company stakeholders, they are on the Internet, but not on the web. Most people use the “web” and the Internet interchangeably, but they are not the same. “The World Wide Web, or web for short, is the pages you see when you’re online. When you put in a web address, it sends you to a page on the World Wide Web. The Internet is the network of connected computers that the World Wide Web works on. The Internet is also how your emails get sent and how files travel (Horvath, 2022).” Simply put, the memo I email to my boss is not on the web unless the HTTP, the hypertext transfer protocol, is configured. Web communications can be publicly accessed, while normally digital memos, letters, and presentations are on the Internet(the net of computers) and are for the sender and receiver.
