The Internet, or simply the Net, is the publicly accessible worldwide system of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using a standardized Internet Protocol (IP). It is made up of thousands of smaller commercial, academic, domestic, and government networks. It carries various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.\n\nContrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents, linked by hyperlinks and URLs, and is accessible using the Internet.

Internet is network of networks. The vast collection of inter-connected networks across the world that all use the TCP/IP protocols.\n\nWhereas intranet is an internal use, private network inside an organisation that uses the same kind of software which would also be found on the Internet.\n\nE-Commerce is the commercial transactions that takes place over the internet.\nDefinition is as follows\nElectric commerce: the conducting of business communication and transactions over networks and through computers. Specifically, ecommerce is the buying and selling of goods and services, and the transfer of funds, through digital communications.

It hasn't affected how I find information. It has affected the technology used to network all these computers together.  Eventually the networking will use a different protocol that has room for many more IP addresses. That will require a lot of hardware behind the scenes to be upgraded and replaced, but having more sites on the net just means more places to look for information.  That's a good thing.  Search Engines and other tools handle cataloging that information for me automatically.

they are the same, all the networks connected world wide are subnetworks of the global 'internet'

Only the WalMart data center has enough storage space to house the entire World Wide Web. And besides, with internet content changing every second, why would you want a copy of it?\n\nSeriously, there is far too much data on the Web to be housed in your computer....

Um, no. The internet is not an intelligent being. It's just a bunch of text and pictures hosted on different computers around the world.

As it relates to the Internet, surfing is simply browsing web sites.  Any time you look at any web site, you are surfing the Internet.

Although the English word worldwide is normally written as one word (without a space or hyphen), the proper name World Wide Web and abbreviation WWW are now well-established even in formal English. The earliest references to the Web called it the WorldWideWeb (an example of computer programmers' fondness for intercaps) or the World-Wide Web (with a hyphen, this version of the name is the closest to normal English usage).\n\nIronically, the abbreviation "WWW" is impractical as it contains more syllables than the full term "World Wide Web", and thus takes longer to say. It is, however, easier to type.\n\nSimply cuz' its an acronym of World Wide Web !

the internet is a virtual representation of our real life, i look at it like a forum. We interact in many ways on the internet by doing stuff like business, chatting, surfing, emailing, and stuff like that which is similar to what we do in real life. In real life we open a shop for business just like how we setup a website and sell stuff, we chat online just like how we have conversations in real life, we surf the net for anything that might interest us just like how we travel new places discovering new things in real life, emailing online just like how we have conversations with our neighbours and friends or colleagues at work place, get the point?\n\nThe internet is a vital tool of computers that have evolved just like how humans have migrated from caves to have a urban living in cities. Computers are a machine created by humans with a vital tool called the internet to perform tasks that make our daily lives more interesting. It's another spectrum of us being humans. Computers will be integral in our lives no matter how much some might dislike it.\n\nIm doing business online and i like it, check out the websites below and you too might start liking computers and the internet =)

WWW means the Web as itself, it's all the content and services, evirithing.\n\nHTML, whell, isn't the best, but is the mos common and popular way to publish information on the Web, but that is changing, a little.

internet is a vast medium, there are countless resources of information on the internet.\n\nin my opinion there should be some controlled resources of information and some without censor.\n\nfor example u can search for a specific topic on controlled resources such as microsoft encarta, or wikipedia and then search the same thing on freenet.\n\nin this way u can decide on your own, which one is better.
