2. Internet and Web - What's the Difference?

Let me explain the difference between Internet and World Wide Web in simple terms:

Internet World Wide Web
The big highway system connecting all computers worldwide The websites and pages you visit using browsers
Born in the 1960s as ARPANET Created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee
Uses TCP/IP protocols to connect networks Uses HTTP/HTTPS to display web pages
Includes email, file sharing, online gaming Contains websites, blogs, and web applications
Think of it as the entire postal system Think of it as just the letters and packages

Easy way to remember: Internet is like the ocean, and the Web is like the ships that sail on it!
