The World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a global, read-write information space. Text documents, images, multimedia and many other items of information, referred to as resources, are identified by short, unique, global identifiers called Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) so that each can be found, accessed and cross referenced in the simplest possible way. The term is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet itself, but the Web is actually something that is available via the Internet, just like e-mail and many other Internet services.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_wide_web

WWW is a system of Internet servers that support specially formatted documents. The documents are formatted in a 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.\n\nWhile, Internet is the vast collection of inter-connected networks across the world that all use the TCP/IP protocols

That's a good question. I think the answer is "both". A website is a collection of web pages (electronic documents) which are stored on a machine connected to the Internet known as a server. Because each page has a physical location, and because (usually) all of the pages are stored in the same server, that is why a website is a place. At the same time, the site when referred to as a collective is a thing.

Internet is network of networks. The vast collection of inter-connected networks across the world that all use the TCP/IP protocols.\n\nWhereas intranet is an internal use, private network inside an organisation that uses the same kind of software which would also be found on the Internet.\n\nE-Commerce is the commercial transactions that takes place over the internet.\nDefinition is as follows\nElectric commerce: the conducting of business communication and transactions over networks and through computers. Specifically, ecommerce is the buying and selling of goods and services, and the transfer of funds, through digital communications.

Fascinating facts about the invention\nof the Internet by Vinton Cerf in 1973. INTERNET \n \nThe Internet is a worldwide network of thousands of computers and computer networks. It is a public, voluntary, and cooperative effort between the connected institutions and is not owned or operated by any single organization.  The Internet and Transmission Control Protocols were initially developed in 1973 by American computer scientist Vinton Cerf as part of a project sponsored by the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) and directed by American engineer Robert Kahn.   \nThe Internet began as a computer network of ARPA (ARPAnet) that linked computer networks at several universities and research laboratories in the United States. The World Wide Web was developed in 1989 by English computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).\n\n"The DESIGN of Internet was done in 1973 and published in 1974. There ensued about 10 years of hard work, resulting in the roll out of Internet in 1983. Prior to that, a number of demonstrations were made of the technology - such as the first three-network interconnection demonstrated in November 1977 linking SATNET, PRNET and ARPANET in a path leading from Menlo Park, CA to University College London and back to USC/ISI in Marina del Rey, CA." . - Vinton Cerf explains the timing:\n\nInternet, interconnection of computer networks that enables connected machines to communicate directly. The term popularly refers to a particular global interconnection of government, education, and business computer networks that is available to the public. There are also smaller internets, usually for the private use of a single organization, called intranets.\n\nInternet technology is a primitive precursor of the Information Superhighway, a theoretical goal of computer communications to provide schools, libraries, businesses, and homes universal access to quality information that will educate, inform, and entertain. In early 1996, the Internet interconnected more than 25 million computers in over 180 countries and continues to grow at a dramatic rate.\n\nHow Internets Work\nInternets are formed by connecting local networks through special computers in each network known as gateways. Gateway interconnections are made through various communication paths, including telephone lines, optical fibers, and radio links. Additional networks can be added by linking to new gateways. Information to be delivered to a remote machine is tagged with the computerized address of that particular machine.\n\nDifferent types of addressing formats are used by the various services provided by internets (see Internet address). One format is known as dotted decimal, for example: 123.45.67.89. Another format describes the name of the destination computer and other routing information, such as "machine.dept.univ.edu." The suffix at the end of the internet address designates the type of organization that owns the particular computer network, for example, educational institutions (.edu), military locations (.mil), government offices (.gov), and non-profit organizations (.org). Networks outside the United States use suffixes that indicate the country, for example (.ca) for Canada.\n\nOnce addressed, the information leaves its home network through a gateway. It is routed from gateway to gateway until it reaches the local network containing the destination machine. Internets have no central control, that is, no single computer directs the flow of information. This differentiates internets from other types of online computer services, such as CompuServe, America Online, and the Microsoft Network.\n\nThe Internet Protocol\nThe Internet Protocol is the basic software used to control an internet. This protocol specifies how gateway machines route information from the sending computer to the recipient computer. Another protocol, Transmission Control Protoc

Internet\n\nThe vast collection of inter-connected networks that are connected using the TCP/IP protocols and that evolved from the ARPANET of the late 60's and early 70's. \nThe Internet connects tens of thousands of independent networks into a vast global internet and is probably the largest Wide Area Network in the world.\n\n\nIntranet \nA private network inside a company or organization that uses the same kinds of software that you would find on the public Internet, but that is only for internal use. Compare with extranet.

The Internet:  An electronic network of computers that includes nearly every university, government, and research facility in the world. Also included are many commercial sites. It started with four interconnected computers in 1969 and was known as ARPAnet.\n\nBest services: \nSearch engines (Yahoo!, Google, MSN Search)\nCommunity sites (Yahoo! Answers, Yahoo! Groups)\nFree Email\nBill Paying\nOnline Shopping (Food, Clothing, Electronics)\nOnline Banking\n\nInternet Service Providers:\nThere are many of these but amoung the top are (AOL, Earthlink, Comcast, Verizon DSL, SBC, Netzero, Netscape)\n\nThere is a wealth of information the "BEST" is usually a matter of perspective, not set in stone.

That answer changes every second. The internet is not just one computer hidden in some basement somewhere. You personally contribute to the internet size everytime that you log onto your service provider. The Internet is basically every connected computer and server in the world communicating amongst each other.

The internet started as a text based means for schools to transfer information. No one owns the web it is just a big net work that everyone connects to and becomes part of.

Understanding the Internet is very essential, especially if you are using it for researching. If you do not understand anything, then you will not be able to take the information you read and put it into your own words.

There is a theory stating that the universe can be composed of information.  However, transmitting an object through a network or a cable means that you have to "transform" the object´s atomic structure and make it compatible with the format and bandwith of the means you are using to transmit it.  Theoretically it is possible (like in the movie "The fly"), but current science has still its limitations about it.

The Internet is revolutionizing and enhancing the way we as humans communicate, both locally and around the globe. Simply put, the Internet is a network of linked computers allowing participants to share information on those computers. You should want to be a part of it because the Internet literally puts a world of information and a potential worldwide audience at your fingertips.\n\n Internet History: The Internet's roots can be traced to the 1950s with the launch of Sputnik, the ensuing space race, the Cold War and the development of ARPAnet (Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), but it really took off in the 1980s when the National Science Foundation used ARPAnet to link its five regional supercomputer centers. From there evolved a high-speed backbone of Internet access for many other types of networks, universities, institutions, bulletin board systems and commercial online services. The end of the decade saw the emergence of the World Wide Web, which heralded a platform-independent means of communication enhanced with a pleasant and relatively easy-to-use graphical interface. Here is a link to an excellent Internet timeline at PBS Online.\n\n Internet Activity: The information superhighway is literally buzzing with activity as Internet pipelines pump out all manner of files, movies, sounds, programs, video, e-mail, live chat, you name it. Yet amid all this activity there are always two key players in every transaction: a server and a client.\n\nServers are computers with a 24-hour Internet connection that provide access to their files and programs. These can be but are not limited to educational institutions, commercial companies, organizations, government or military organizations, Internet access providers and various other computer networks of all sizes. \n\nClients are software programs (and the people on remote computers using the software!) used to access files on a server (typically, a Web browsing program such as Netscape Navigator or an e-mail program such as Eudora). \nServers are typically located and organized by IP address and domain.\n\nAn IP address (IP stands for Internet Protocol) is a specific set of numbers referring to a server's exact location on a network. Most domains have their own IP address, for instance, 192.41.20.33 is the IP address of my server at webcurrent.com. You can type those numbers in to get there, but the domain is easier to remember. An IP address also leaves your fingerprints wherever you "surf" on the net. Each modem connection typically is designated a specific IP address at Internet providers (this number typically changes dynamically as users log in), so you never really surf the net anonymously. You can be traced to a point. \nA domain is part of the server's official name on the network, an alias for the less descriptive IP numbers. Domains are organized by type of organization (a three-letter suffix) and by country (a two-letter suffix which defaults to the U.S. if no suffix is specified). You can tell a lot about a server by looking at its domain name. \nHere are some typical organizational suffixes: com=commercial, edu=educational, gov=government, int=international, mil=military, net=network, org=organization. \nHere are some country codes: au=Australia, at=Austria, be=Belgium, br=-Brazil, dk=Denmark, jp=Japan, nz=New Zealand, ru=Russian Federation, uk=United Kingdom, ch=Switzerland. \n\nPrivacy. Don't post or write anything you wouldn't mind anyone else seeing. Remember your information is not secure nor is your e-mail necessarily private. It's supposed to be, but that isn't always the case. Also, never EVER send your credit card number via email. If you're ordering something online, be sure the web page you are entering data into is served from a secure server (https://... more on this in the next section). Helpful links: \n\nSecurity. To enhance security, many networks have encrypted, secure transmission met
