[edit] Errata

I propose adding an ERRATA section, because it's a documentary, and some errors in this film have contributed to ongoing misunderstandings of key technical concepts and language.

(Part 3, 08:08) Cringely incorrectly demonstrates a URL using the word backslash. The correct term is slash. Web addresses (URLs or URIs) mainly contain slashes and not backslashes.

The "/" ,forward slash, slash, or solidus (left of the Shift Key on U.S. English keyboards) is used in URLs and Unix-like file systems, and as a DOS/Windows command line option delimiter.

The backslash, reverse solidus or "\" (above the Enter key) is used in DOS and WINDOWS file paths, is used as a special character prefix in Unix-like operating systems, and can be used in URLs or URIs in Windows for local and network files, though generally not for files on web servers.
