What is the difference between the Internet and the Web?

Some use the words "Internet" and "Website”Indiscriminately, as if it were a concept. This use of these terms is technically incorrect.
The Internet and the World Wide Web describe a relationship of the "whole" and a "part" of the whole. The Internet is the big container, and the Web is a place within that container. It is common in everyday conversation to use like “Net” and “Web” referring to the same thing. But to be technically accurate, the Net is the restaurant, and the World Wide Web or Web is the most popular dish on the menu.

Το ARPAnet ήταν αρχικά ένα πείραμα του στρατού των which was created to keep communications active in the event of a possible nuclear attack. Over time, ARPAnet became a political experiment, connecting computers mainframe universities for academic purposes. As PCs became more mainstream in the 1980 and 1990 decades, the internet grew up with more users who connected their computers to the huge network. Today, the Internet has evolved into a public net that includes millions of personal, government, and corporate computers connected to each other by cables and wireless signals.

In theory at least nobody is the owner of the internet. Speaking theoretically, there is no government that has its absolute power. The Internet was born as a free and open means of communication and data transmission.
