Analysis:

What is the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web?

The Internet is the global network of interconnected computers, while the World Wide Web (WWW) is a
system of linked hypertext documents accessed through the Internet. The Internet is the infrastructure
that allows for communication and data transfer, while the World Wide Web is an application or service
that runs on top of the Internet, providing access to websites, web pages, and other online content. In
simple terms, the Internet is the network, and the World Wide Web is a collection of websites and web
resources accessible through that network.
