| WWWhat's
it all about? What's the difference between the Internet
and the World Wide Web? |
| |
|
As far as you are
concerned, there is no difference. You can use the
terms interchangeably. The World Wide Web (often
abbreviated to "the web") is how most people experience
the internet. Technically, there is a difference.
But in daily practice this difference is inconsequential.
Consider the following statements:
|
|
|
|
1. I'm
surfing the net.
|
|
2. I
found a really cool web site.
|
|
3. I've
got to check my email.
|
|
4. I'll
meet you in a chat room.
|
|
5. I'm
shopping online.
|
|
6. I'm
going to download some information on restaurants
in Amsterdam.
|
|
|
|
You can do all of
these things from the comfort of your browser. In
the next few paragraphs I will describe what's going
on in each case. Later, I'll help you learn how
to go do these things and more.
