What is the difference between the Internet and the ‘WWW’?

         In 1969, some American universities and research institutes needed more computing power, and connected their computers with one another. Later, more and more computers got connected, giving rise to a worldwide network called the Internet. On the other hand, the ‘WWW’ – and the sending of e-mails – is a service, which is offered within the Internet. It is a worldwide association of information pages connected with one another called the ‘World Wide Web’. The basic requirement for searching in the WWW or for sending e-mails is access to the Internet, maybe through a telephone line. Surfing, i.e., searching for information, in the WWW is not possible without a special program called a browser which understands the language of the Web. The address of the website we want to look at is typed in the browser. For instance, the website www.infpplease.com/countries tells us about different countries of the world.
