Internet and World Wide Web

I thought web was the other name for internet..My lecturer helped me to understand that these to are different..Internet is the largest network which allows people in different geographical location to share resources and communicate.While web is a service provided by internet..This was made easy when she gave an example that one can use internet without using web..like having a skype call via a phone...But for one to use web,he has to use internet..Generally, Web is a big collection of electronic documents on the internet.

As a youth, the only use of internet i knew was to access information and communicate using social networks..but after the lecture i learnt with internet one can:

• access information
• upload / download files between workstations(computers).
• share resources
• buy product and services

It is has always been my habit to read my home country's newspaper online.It never got to me that newsroom is one of the services of the internet..Some services provided by the internet include Email, World Wide Web, Protocol, Chatroom, Instant Messaging.
