Internet and WWW
The World Wide Web
The internet is the the World Wide Web as Europe is to France. One of the container, the other is an item within the container.
The World Wide Web is part of the internet but is much younger. The Internet is about 40 years old whilst the WWW is merely 25 years old.
It was developed at CERN, the world famous underground physics laboratory in Switzerland, by Tim Berners Lee around 1990.
The complete web is organised as millions of ' web sites'. Each page is made up of text, images or multimedia such as video and sounds.

Website and browsers
Web sites are hosted on dedicated computers known as ' web servers'. These machines will send a web page to your browser when you request it.
There are many different browsers available such as Chrome, FireFox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari and so on. But they all do the same job- namely to display a web page delivered from a web server.

What is internet?
The internet is made up of milli9ons upon millions of small computer networks all brought together to form the vast " Inter- Network". That world never caught on, so it was shortened to the much easier- to - say " Internet".

This is made up of websites thayt have one or more web pages. This is the part of the Internet that you probably use most of the time.
Introduction
The internet is one of the most important changes that has happened to the way we live and work in the last twenty years ago.
It began life about 40 years ago, in an American military research agency called DARPA. Its inventors could never have forseen how it would develop over time.
The internet now spans the world, connecting billions of people in their everyday lives.
