1. What is difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web? Many people use “Interne” and “World Wide Web” interchangeably. They shouldn’t, and here’s why.

2. The Internet, of course, is the maze of phone and cable lines, satellites, and network cables that interconnect computers around the world. The World Wide Web (also called WWW or simply the Web) is the name given to anything on the Internet that can be accessed using a Uniform Resource Locator, or URL. This addressing system brought the Internet to the mainstream in the 1990s, eliminating the complicated commands and prompts that user previously had to type to access information. The vast majority of the content you access with a URL are files written in a code called Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML. We know HTML files as Web pages.

3. Hypertext is a scheme of cross-referencing. Certain words, phrases, and images make up so-called links. When you select a link in a Web page or Web site (a document containing text and graphics and sometimes also other types of files), your computer is transferred to another document dealing with the same or a related subject. This site will probably also contain numerous links. Before long, you might find yourself “surfing” the Web for hours going from site to site.

4. As you may have experienced, the Web works fastest when the fewest number of people are connected to the Internet. When Net traffic is heavy, Web documents can take a long time to appear. This problem is worst with comparatively slow telephone-line modems, but it can occur even with the most expensive, high-speed Internet connections. When you experience it, you’ll know why some people refer to the Web as the “World Wide Web”.
