The "web" has been around for decades, just on in this current form.

Back in the late 1970's and early 1980's they were BBS (bulletin board services).

Sure, you had to have expensive machines, but file downloading and information exchange were common.

He specificly said WEB, as in HTTP , which was invented by Tim Berniers-Lee in 1990, which is only 13 years ago.

BBS's are not "the web."
