The Network
The Internet, to put it simply, is just a world-wide combination and collection of networks. A network is a collection of computers connected to each other in order to share their respective resources and data. The information is sent through cables of varying data transfer speeds.
The Web
Do not confuse the Internet with the World Wide Web. They are not synonymous. The Web is an interface that utilizes the Internet to send and receive information. This information is stored in Web pages and viewed by Web browsers such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. Web pages are linked together, and when users are connected to the Internet, they can view these Web pages which are typically stored on servers (fast and powerful computers).
Connections
Numerous devices, wired and wireless, are used to interface with each other to make up the global network known as the Internet. Satellites, cable lines and phone lines are a few examples of connections. Nowadays the Internet is readily available on computers, PDAs and even cellular phones
