Is there a difference between the Web and the Internet?
Newscasters, politicians, and regular people often use these terms interchangeably. However, technically, the concepts are differentand confusing them is likely to put computer techies and other self-respecting nerds on edge.
The Internet is a network of connected computers that spans the globe. These computers are connected together to share information, but there are a number of ways to get the job done, including emailing, instant messaging, transferring files through FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), and downloading MP3 songs through peer-to-peer applications (which of course you don’t do). The World Wide Web is one of the many ways to exchange information across the Internet. And how does this information get exchanged? You guessed itpeople use special programs called Web browsers to visit Web sites and Web pages spread across the globe.
