and Internet

Internet
A global network connecting millions of computers.
More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news
and opinions.
Unlike online services, which are centrally controlled, the Internet
is decentralized by design. Each Internet computer, called a host,
is independent. Its operators can choose which Internet services
to use and which local services to make available to the global
Internet community. Remarkably, this anarchy by design works exceedingly
well.
There are a variety of ways to access the Internet.
Most online services, such as America Online, offer access to some
Internet services. It is also possible to gain access through a
commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The Internet is not synonymous with World Wide
Web.
World Wide Web
A system of Internet servers that support specially
formatted documents. The documents are formatted in a markup language
called HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that supports links to other
documents, as well as graphics, audio, and video files. This means
you can jump from one document to another simply by clicking on
hot spots. Not all Internet servers are part of the World Wide Web.
There are several applications called Web browsers that make it
easy to access the World Wide Web; Two of the most popular being
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
World Wide Web is not synonymous with the Internet.
