A network that connects computers over the world. It provides the basis for the web. The first workable prototype of the Internet came in 1960 when ARPANET delivered its first message from one computer to another. However, Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn are credited with inventing the Internet, developing the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol which was adopted by ARPANET in 1983.
The World Wide Web is a collection of documents that are connected to each other through hyperlinks that are found on the internet. It was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He was trying to find a way for scientists to easily share their data. Originally, it was used by researchers at CERN to share data with other institutions and was soon opened to the general public. In the early years of the www, webpages were made of single pages with words and pictures and most people could not create their own webpage. The first website was created on August 6, 1991, by Tim Berners-Lee and is currently up after being lost, the URL is http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
The Internet and the World Wide Web are not the same things, the internet supports access to the web. The World Wide Web is the pages we see online, while the Internet is the network of connected computers. The Internet transports content and the web is how we see that content.
