Internet vs. World Wide Web??

Question

what is the difference between the two?..

Answer 1

The World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents that runs over the Internet.

The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP).

In other words, Internet is a network of computers and World Wide Web is a network of documents (pages, PDFs, images, etc.)

Answer 2

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 and the Belgian Robert Cailliau 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.

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Internet means a inter related global network where networks from different areas, cities, countries and continents are linked together by means of one or another medium like cable or satellite. World Wide Web is a repository of all those web Sites which are accessable using the internet. Basically it is a server. So to use this server, we make use of Internet, and this server comes into existence due to internet.

Answer 6

Nothing

The internet was/is a bunch of networks inter-connected (internet). It runs off the TCP/IP protocol suite, which enables all others running the same protocol to inter-connect and pass each others' data.

The world wide web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee and his team in the early 1990s. It uses the Hypertext Translation Protocol (HTTP) to translate Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) into the web pages we all see. It is HTML combined with Java, Javascript, XML and other protocols, which make up the web today.

Answer 7

The Internet is the network over which the World Wide Web is delivered. The WWW usually refers to the HTTP service over which "web pages" are delivered, and the connections between those pages; whereas the Internet can provide other services such as FTP, SSH, email, gopher (an outdated -- but lovely! -- browsing protocol similar to HTTP) and so on.
