what is the difference between internet & www?

Answer 1

The internet is the graphic interface used by millions to access information on the www........the stuff you see on your screen is the internet....where it's coming from is the www

The Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others described below.

The best way to define and distinguish between these terms is with reference to the Internet protocol suite. This collection of standards and protocols is organized into layers such that each layer provides the foundation and the services required by the layer above. In this conception, the term Internet refers to computers and networks that communicate using IP (Internet protocol) and TCP (transfer control protocol). Once this networking structure is established, then other protocols can run “on top.” These other protocols are sometimes called services or applications. Hypertext transfer protocol, or HTTP, is the application layer protocol that links and provides access to the files, documents and other resources of the World Wide Web.

Answer 2

"WWW" was the name of the first domain computer that would start what would become the Internet. So at the beginning, all web sites had "www" as part of their name.

With the growth of the Internet, most web sites are no longer located in the "www" domain. But the phrase remains as another way to refer to the Internet.

Today "www", word wide web, and Internet are interchangable terms (like car and automobile).

Answer 3

The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.

The World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents that runs over the Internet. With a Web browser, a user views Web pages that may contain text, images, and other multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks. The Web was created around 1990 by the Englishman Tim Berners-Lee working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. As its inventor, Berners-Lee conceived the Web to be the Semantic Web where all its contents should be descriptively marked-up.

Answer 4

Internet describes the whole system; and WWW is either a shorthand for World Wide Web ( as opposed to a local web) and is also part of some addresses.

Answer 5

The Internet is a general term for any communication that is transmitted via the Internet. This includes e-mail, chat, web pages.

www (world wide web) implies Web pages in the HTTP space of the Internet. Some people use this interchangeably with the word Internet.

Good luck and Happy Computing!
