Lesson 2
INTERNET VS THE WEB
WHAT IS INTERNET?
The Internet — the name we often
use interchangeably with World
Wide Web — is a massive public
network of networks, a labyrinth of
hardwired and wireless connections
between disparate drives on
countless devices scattered around
the world. In a sense, it is like a global
computer, wherein each individual
computer or server becomes just
another node in one massive,
distributed system.
WHAT IS WORLD WIDE WEB?
The World Wide Web, or just “the
Web” for short, is a standardized
system for accessing and navigating
the Internet. It isn’t the only one
(email and mobile apps, for
instance, do not make use of the
Web to connect you to the Internet),
but it is by far the most common.
