What is Internet?
The Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with other computers as long as they are both connected to the Internet. Information can travel via the internet via a variety of languages called Protocols.
What is World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web or simply Web, is a way of accessing information over the medium of the internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the internet, to transmit data.
Web services, which use HTTP allow applications to communicate in order to exchange business logic and use the web to share information.
Web browser
A Web Browser or simply Browser is a software application used to locate, retrieve and display content on the World Wide Web, including web pages, images, videos, and other files
As a client/server model, the browser is the client that runs on a computer and contacts the web server to request for information. The web server sends the information back to the browser which displays the results on the computer or other internet enabled device that supports a browser.
