The Difference Between the Internet and the Web

Many people make the mistake that the internet and the web or the World Wide Web are the same thing. In reality they are quite different and the people that invented them are completely different. The Internet is a network of networks or in simpler terms, an infrastructure. It’s what makes you capable of accessing the web. The Web (www) is a group of information that is placed on the internet for access. It is a service on top of that infrastructure. So you need the internet to get onto the web. A good example that the website used was that the internet is a big book store while the web is a collection of the books inside of the store.

            There are several people that you could say invented the internet as well as the web because of all the logistical jobs that were involved. There were two main people for each that are well known for the creating of the Internet and the Web. Two men named Robert E. Khan and Vint Cerf are the ones who created the internet. The people who created the web are Timer Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau. It is because of these people along with the help of others that we are able to receive all the information we want in a click of a button.
