Difference Between World Wide Web (WWW) And Internet: And Why It Matters. 

# The Internet is a global network of networks while the Web, also referred formally as World Wide Web (www) is collection of information which is accessed via the Internet. Another way to look at this difference is; the Internet is infrastructure while the Web is service on top of that infrastructure. Alternatively, the Internet can be viewed as a big book-store while the Web can be viewed as collection of books on that store. At a high level, we can even think of the Internet as hardware and the Web as software!

The internet

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing.

The world wide web

The World Wide Web (abbreviated WWW or the Web) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. He wrote the first web browser computer program in 1990 while employed at CERN in Switzerland. The Web browser was released outside of CERN in 1991, first to other research institutions starting in January 1991 and to the general public on the Internet in August 1991.

So the web is only one part of the internet. It happens to be a highly visible part of the internet, though.

Web pages are primarily text documents formatted and annotated with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In addition to formatted text, web pages may contain images, video, audio, and software components that are rendered in the user's web browser as coherent pages of multimedia content. Embedded hyperlinks permit users to navigate between web pages. Multiple web pages with a common theme, a common domain name, or both, make up a website. Website content can largely be provided by the publisher, or interactive where users contribute content or the content depends upon the user or their actions. Websites may be mostly informative, primarily for entertainment, or largely for commercial, governmental, or non-governmental organizational purposes.

Difference between World Wide Web and Internet: -

# The popularity of the Internet service World Wide Web (WWW) can be gauged from this.

That the World Wide Web and the Internet are commonly used in the same sense.

But in reality the World Wide Web is just a service based on the Internet.

Some of the fundamental differences between Web and Internet are as follows: -

1. The Internet is an international communication network that uses hardware and software Connects small to large computer networks spread around the world. On the other hand, the World Wide Web Hyperlinks are a group of interconnected information that can be shared.
2. Internet service provider (Internet Service Provider) has to pay a fee for using the Internet while the World Bide Web is a free facility available on the Internet.
3. Internet protocol (TCP and IP) is used for internet. While the World Wide Web uses hyper text transfer protocol (http).
4. The Internet works in coordination with both hardware and software, while the World Wide Web uses only different software.
5. The World Wide Web is a facility and the Internet is the medium to access it.
