Unlike most of the answers here...I'd like to offer the right one lol
The "World Wide Web" is a PART of the internet. It's built on the HTTP protocol, which serves up textual and graphic documents, grouped by domains and topics (TLD's).
Here are the parts of the internet, notice how they're broken up by their protocols:
-- USENET (News service, uses NEWS://) - this is a separate, more early precursor to the WWW as we know it. It was originally just a central repository for discussions. It's broken up into heirerarchial news groups such as "alt.discuss.news.yoursite".
-- HTTP (or the WWW, runs on HTTP protocol) - is broken up into groups (TLD's, or Top-level-domains, which are either countries like .us, .uk; or groups, like .com, .aero, .museum, .net, .org)
-- FTP (runs on FTP protocol) - used only for serving files, not text.
Today, as indicated here in the other answers, most people get the blanket term "internet" mixed up with "WWW". However, if you lived in 1994, you may interchange "USENET" or "news servers" with the "internet".
See google's definition of WWW:

It's this mishmash of sites and information that we call the net..
Originally it was ARPAnet, and it was built for the department of defense, then spread like wildfire when it was made public.
