difference b/w Internet and World Wide Web

The terms Internet and World Wide Web are often used in everyday speech without much distinction. However, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not one and the same. The Internet is a global data communications system. It is a hardware and software infrastructure that provides connectivity between computers. In contrast, the Web is one of the services communicated via the Internet. It is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs.

Re: difference b/w Internet and World Wide Web

The Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as they are both connected to the Internet. Information that travels over the Internet does so via a variety of languages known as protocols.

Re: difference b/w Internet and World Wide Web

The Internet is at its most basic definition an electronic communications network. It is the structure on which the World Wide Web is based. Think of the Internet as a bus, and the Web as the people within the bus....grumpy passengers, screaming babies, and people talking too loud (actually, that's a pretty good representation of a lot of the Web!).

The World Wide Web is a part of the Internet "designed to allow easier navigation through the use of graphical user interfaces and hypertext links between different addresses" (source:Websters).

The World Wide Web was created in 1992 by Tim Berners-Lee, and continues to change and expand rapidly. The Web is the user part of the Internet, based on TCP/IP protocol technology to swap information back and forth. People use the Web to communicate, access information, for business, and recreational purposes.

The Web and the Internet - Not The Same Thing

The Internet and the Web work together, but they are not the same thing. Think of the bus analogy again - the Internet provides the structure, and the Web provides the dynamic networks that we use via a variety of different methodologies and protocols. For a really good, technical explanation of how this all works, check out Are "Internet" and "World Wide Web" the same thing?

Re: difference b/w Internet and World Wide Web

The Internet has become so ubiquitous it's hard to imagine life without it. It's equally hard to imagine a world where "www" isn't the prefix of many of our online activities. But just because the Internet and the World Wide Web are firmly intertwined with each other, it doesn't mean they're synonymous.The World Wide Web is a part of the Internet "designed to allow easier navigation through the use of graphical user interfaces and hypertext links between different addresses".

Re: difference b/w Internet and World Wide Web

Hello Friends......

The Internet is the term used to identify the massive interconnection of computer networks around the world. It refers to the physical connection of the paths between two or more computers.

The World Wide Web is simply another application that runs on top of the internet. Servers house web sites which you can visit with the use of your browser using the HTTP protocol. You can then browse through the site via Hyperlinks that take you from one page to another and even to pages on another site

Thanks
