Welcome again to my blog everyone. Today we will talk about the internet and the world wide web. Most people use these two terms interchangeably, but these two terms are quite different in meaning. Let’s talk about what the internet really is.
The internet was created in the 60’s for military use to share intelligence some years after that it was conceived into a way civilians could share thoughts and ideas with one another. Below I have simplied what the internet is and what the world wide web is. Enjoy!!!
Internet – The internet is a combination of computers and servers which are interconnected with one another which spans across the entire world. So in short think of the internet as the hardware.
World Wide Web – The world wide web is what is used on the internet to access documents containing videos, text, pictures, music, etc.
Pretty simple huh?
Recap: Internet = hardware(computers, servers, networks) World Wide Web =a series of documents that can contain videos, pictures, music, etc.
With that said we do need to introduce another term which is a web browser. A web browser is what is used to access the world wide web which contains documents, pictures, videos ,etc. Common examples of web browsers would be Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
Until next time everyone!!!!
Very nice. This will help a lot of people who do not understand.
