What is the difference between the internet and the www[edit]

The Internet, linking your computer to other computers around the world, is a way of transporting content. The Web is software that lets you use that content…or contribute your own. The Web, running on the mostly invisible Internet, is what you see and click on in your computer’s browser.

The Internet’s roots are in the U.S. during the late 1960s. The Web was invented 20 years later by an Englishman working in Switzerland—though it had many predecessors.

To keep things “interesting,” many people use the term Internet to refer to both.[2]


Standards[edit]

These standards are used from the IB Computer Science Subject Guide[3]

  • Distinguish between the internet and World Wide Web (web).
