Description
Computers are used to find, store, process and share data and information. The World Wide Web, more commonly known as the internet, is an example of a vast store of information, which can be searched.
The internet and the web: what’s the difference?
People sometimes confuse the internet and the World Wide Web.
The internet refers to the physical interconnection of large numbers of smaller data communications networks to form a huge, publicly accessible ‘network of networks’. Thus the internet carries electronic mail (email), hosts chat rooms and bulletin boards, enables the transfer of files, and is the physical basis for supporting the World Wide Web.
The web is the collection of linked data stored on the internet which is accessed using a browser.
