World Wide Web (WWW) is a system of interconnected
documents and resources that are accessed through the internet. It's like a
collection of web pages, images, videos, and other content that you can
explore using a web browser.

In other words,The World Wide Web is an application of the


Internet. Specifically, it is an enormous a collection of "web servers"
running Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) that can provide
documents with embedded media, programs and links to any other
servers. The highly flexible "linking" from page to page and site to site is
what gives us the metaphor of the "web," as in a spiderweb.

You need a special kind of software called a


"web browser" to access these servers. Web browsers include, but are not
limited to, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer.
The World Wide Web is a system of
interconnected documents that are accessed using the internet. The
internet is essentially a network of networks. It's made up of many
smaller networks that are connected to one another, and it allows people
to access resources from any computer that is connected to the network.
These resources can include websites, email, file sharing, and more.

The World Wide Web, or simply the web, is a system of interconnected


documents and resources that are accessed using the internet. It was
created in the late 1980s by Tim Burners-Lee, who was working at CERN,
the European Organization for Nuclear Research.The web is essentially a
way of organizing information that is stored on servers all over the world.
It allows people to access this information using a web browser, which
retrieves the information from the server and displays it on the user's
screen.World Wide Web can be thought of as the houses, shops, and
buildings that can be accessed thanks to these roads.While using the
WWW is the most common way of accessing the internet, mainly
because most of the information on the internet is on web pages, a lot of
other internet access functions and tasks, such as file transfers, mobile
apps, and instant messaging, are not necessarily,web based.

In summary, while the web and the


internet are two different things, the web turned devices capable of
connecting to the internet into a tool for the masses and thus popularized
and led to the widespread adoption of the internet as a modern way of life.
While the internet is primarily hardware-based, the web, on the other
hand, is more software-oriented.Here are some highlights of the World
Wide Web:
1. Websites: The web is made up of countless websites that cover a wide
range of topics and interests. We can visit websites to read articles, watch
videos, shop online, play games, and so much more.
2. Hyperlinks: Hyperlinks are the links we click on to navigate from one
web page to another. They allow us to jump from one source of
information to another seamlessly.

can find and enjoy a variety of media such as images, videos, audio files,
and interactive elements on websites.

find specific information on the web. We can enter keywords or phrases,
and the search engine will provide us with relevant websites and
resources.

They allow us to connect with others, share content, and stay updated on

examples, and there are many more types of websites on the World Wide
Web. Each type serves a unique purpose and caters to different user needs
and interests.
The Internet
The internet is a vast network of interconnected computers and servers
that communicate with one another using a standardized set of protocols.
It's the infrastructure that allows computers all over the world to
communicate with one another, and it has been around since the 1960s

The internet is essentially a network of networks. It's made up of many


smaller networks that are connected to one another, and it allows people
to access resources from any computer that is connected to the network.
These resources can include websites, email, file sharing, and more,the
internet is the infrastructure that allows computers to communicate with

one another.
The Internet is a network of networks that uses a variety of data
transmission protocols built on top of one called Internet Protocol. There
are different ones for transmitting E-mail, sending and receiving files,
streaming data in real time, and other things.The internet has
revolutionized the way we live and connect with others. It has opened up
a world of possibilities and opportunities.

Here are a few highlights:

all over the world instantly. We can send emails, chat through messaging
apps, make video calls, and even share our thoughts and experiences on
social media platforms.
2. Information and Knowledge: The internet is a vast source of
information. We can search for any topic and find articles, videos, and
resources to learn about it. It's like having a library at our fingertips!

shape our world.

There are different types of internet connections that people use to


access the internet. Some common types include:
1. Dial-up: This is an older type of connection that uses a telephone line
to connect to the internet. It's slower and less common nowadays.
2. Broadband: This is a high-speed internet connection that is always on.
It includes options like DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), cable, and fiber
optic connections.
3. Mobile Data: This type of internet connection allows you to access the
internet using your mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. It uses
cellular networks to provide internet access.

4. Satellite: In areas where other types of internet connections are not


available, satellite internet can be used. It uses satellites in space to
provide internet access.These are just a few examples, and there may be
other types of internet connections depending on your location and
service providers.
Here are some differences between the internet and the
World Wide Web (WWW)

The internet is like a big network that connects different devices and
computers all around the world. It allows these devices to communicate
with each other and share information. It's the infrastructure that makes it
possible for us to access websites, send emails, use social media, and so
much more.On the other hand, the World Wide Web (WWW) is a part
of the internet. It's like a collection of websites and web pages that are
linked together through hyperlinks. When we browse the web, we use
web browsers like Chrome or Safari to access and navigate through these
websites. The WWW is just one of the many things we can do on the
internet.

In simpler terms, think of the internet as the big network that connects
everything, and the World Wide Web as the part of the internet where
we can browse websites and access information. They work together to
make our online experiences possible!
Understanding the Difference between the Internet and the World Wide
Web.The terms “Internet” and “World Wide Web” are frequently used
synonymously in everyday speech, leading one to be incorrectly believed
to be synonymous with the other, despite the fact that they are two quite
distinct concepts.
In summary, while the web and the internet are two different
things, the web turned devices capable of connecting to the internet into a
tool for the masses and thus popularized and led to the widespread
adoption of the internet as a modern way of life.
While the internet is primarily hardware-based, the web, on the other
hand, is more software-oriented.
