Is the internet and the web the same thing?

Answer 1

The Internet is the interconnection of billions of computer systems worldwide. That low level connection can allow you to use or offer a multitude of services.

The most common are..
- browsing/searching the web
- sending/receiving email
- chatting/online meeting

Answer 2

No, they're actually different. The Internet is the network of networks, and it is the means of transporting information from one network to another. The web, or worldwide web, is an activity that one can do on the Internet - it is the search and retrieval, or the transfer, of information found on the Internet.

For most of us non-engineering users, the Internet and the web are the same thing, though.

Answer 3

no. the internet is a "network". It is the connections....the highway of the information so to speak.

The web is the way of accessing information over the internet...the car that travels on the highway .


for more info....
Many people use the terms Internet and World Wide Web (a.k.a. the Web) interchangeably, but in fact the two terms are not synonymous. The Internet and the Web are two separate but related things.
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.

The World Wide Web, or simply Web, is a way of accessing information over the medium of the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the Internet, to transmit data. Web services, which use HTTP to allow applications to communicate in order to exchange business logic, use the the Web to share information. The Web also utilizes browsers, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, to access Web documents called Web pages that are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Web documents also contain graphics, sounds, text and video.

The Web is just one of the ways that information can be disseminated over the Internet. The Internet, not the Web, is also used for e-mail, which relies on SMTP, Usenet news groups, instant messaging and FTP. So the Web is just a portion of the Internet, albeit a large portion, but the two terms are not synonymous and should not be confused.
