The Internet is a global network that connects millions of computers together through a common set of protocols. The World Wide Web (WWW or Web) is one way of accessing and sharing information over the Internet using browsers and HTTP. While often used interchangeably, the Internet and Web are not the same - the Internet provides other services like email, file transfer, and messaging. Common internet tools include browsers, email, and file transfer, which allow users to access the Web and other internet services. Popular browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari.

1. WHAT IS THE INTERNET?
The Internet is a massive network of networks, a
networking infrastructure. It connects millions of
computers together globally, forming a network
in which any computer can communicate with
any other computer as long as they are both
connected to the Internet. Information that
travels over the Internet does so via a variety of
languages known as protocols.

2. WHAT IS THE WEB (WORLD WIDE WEB)?
 The World Wide Web, or simply Web, is a
way of accessing information over the
medium of the Internet. It is an information-
sharing model that is built on top of the
Internet.

3. Internet VS The Web (World Wide Web)
 The Web is just one of the ways that
information can be disseminated over the
Internet. The Internet, not the Web, is also
used for e-mail, which relies on SMTP,

and FTP. So the Web is just a portion of
the Internet, a large portion, but the two
terms are not synonymous and should
not be confused.
