1.2. Terms

1.2.1. Introduction

The terms "Internet" and "World Wide Web (WWW)" are often used synonymously. But there is a significant difference between these terms. As you learned in the first lesson, the WWW is based on the internet. That means that the internet was developed before the WWW and therefore it is an independent system.

We will deepen these statements in the next chapters. First we will concentrate on the term "Internet" and afterwards we explain the characteristics of the "WWW".
