The Internet is an association of thousands of networks and 
millions of computers around the world connected by 
communications lines. They all work together to share information. 

The World Wide Web (or “Web”) is a subset of the Internet—a 
collection of interlinked documents (located on computers 
connected to the Internet) that work together using a specific 
Internet protocol called Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). 

The World Wide Web offers information as text, images, audio, or 
video to be referenced from anywhere in the world. Special 
programs called Web browsers are specifically designed to work 
with HTTP. They make it easier to connect to a particular network 
address and send and receive information.
