Quizzes for the digitally curious

We spend hours online every day, between apps, websites and social networks, without always knowing what lies behind them. These internet and tech quizzes let you check what you really know about this world, by swiping each card to the right side before the timer runs out.

From the web to the tech giants

Domain names, the history of apps, headline-making acquisitions, inventions that changed our daily lives: the topics are varied and the traps are many. Every answer is explained at the end of the game, so you come away with a story to tell.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the internet and the web?

The internet is the network that connects computers all over the world, born from work on Arpanet in the late 1960s. The web is just one of its services: invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, it lets you browse pages connected by links. Emails and messaging apps also run over the internet, without using the web.

Who runs the internet?

Nobody owns it on their own. Domain names and addresses are coordinated by ICANN, a non-profit organisation based in California, while technical standards are drawn up by bodies such as the IETF and the W3C. The networks themselves belong to thousands of operators, public and private.

What does GAFAM stand for?

It's an acronym for Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft, the five American digital giants. The term has aged a little: Facebook is now called Meta and Google belongs to its parent company Alphabet, but the expression is still used to refer to the big platforms.
