This site has a good breakdown of what dpi means in the digital world:

Agreed. I explained it to my son thusly: 72 dots per inch leaves more empty space than 300 dots per inch and when each are printed, the less 'space' the less blur or pixellating(printing something red really illustrates this difference). I use 72dpi for web, 300dpi for print, regardless of the size of the print being made. Interestingly, magazines and books use 600dpi minimum(according to a couple of my professors).
