5. Is Web and Internet the Same?
The Internet is not synonymous with World Wide Web. 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

The World Wide Web, or simply Web, is a way of accessing

Editor's Notes
Who Owns the Internet?
No one actually owns the Internet, and no single person or organization controls the Internet in its entirety. The Internet is more of a concept than an actual tangible entity, and it relies on a physical infrastructure that connects networks to other networks.
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, Usenet news groups, instant messaging and FTP. So the Web is just a portion of the Internet, although a large portion, but the two terms are not synonymous and should not be confused.
Originally, websites were purely informational. Before the web was opened to the public, educational and research institutions and government agencies were able to make information available to each other via text-only websites. Now that we have the World Wide Web, there are more types of websites than you can shake a stick at.
