The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard communications protocols to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support email.
The Web is a collection of computers, called servers, which communicate with each other using structured commands, queries and responses. It provides facilities for documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another.
