According to the world netweb, the internet is a computer network consisting of a worldwide network of computer networks that use the TCP/IP network protocols to facilitate data transmission and exchange. This means that the internet is a global system that has many computers that are connected to each other. It constitutes many private, public and business networks that are linked electronically. The internet does not have any one governing body, but rather, each network has its own rules. However, an organization overlooks the names that are given to each web site.
This web site also went on to say that the World Wide Web is a network of a group of internet sites that offers information in the form of graphics, animation, sounds and text. All these internet sites are connected one with each other by means of hypertext documents or URLs. Therefore, all web pages that are on the internet and are connected in this manner by way of the hypertext transfer protocol are collectively called the World Wide Web.
There is a difference between the internet and the World Wide Web. Whereas the internet is a computer network that has a global network of other computer networks, which may not be linked to each other, the world wide web has to have internet sites that are connected to each other, thus by accessing one of these sites you are able to link another site from that specific one. The World Wide Web is just one of the many services that run on the internet.
