This is my first post!

As it turns out, the World Wide Web and the Internet are not quite the same thing, even though people use the terms interchangeably.



The World Wide Web is a network of documents. These documents (such as this blog) are lynked together with hyperlinks--those underlined words you use to surf around. The Web was first created in 1989 in Geneva, Switzerland.



The Internet, on the other hand, has been around much longer. The term Internet generally refers to the massive network of hardware--hard wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and so on--which makes it possible to access the World Wide Web.
