Why do we even need to use "www" ? I mean, if every webpage starts with it, why not just eliminate it? What's the diff?

Strangely, perhaps, it reminds me of that anecdote about King George ending every sentence with "Peacock!".

Quote:

King George III (1738–1820) reigned during the time of the American Revolution and the War of 1812. His political influence declined from 1788 after bouts of mental illness. During one of his attacks of insanity, he insisted on ending every sentence in all his speeches with the word peacock. His ministers cured him of this by telling him that peacock was a beautiful word but a royal one, which a king should whisper when speaking before his subjects so they couldn't hear it. As a result, the speeches of George III were markedly less absurd.



I say we eliminate this absurd "www" from Internet addressses. It's redundant.

Or is it? What's "http://" ?
