There is no clear line, but the internet is usually credited to the US.

The Brits had a less sophisticated and far smaller system before but question is if that counts.

So the US invented the internet.

The world wide web however, was invented in Europe at CERN.

Television= Scottish.
Atomic bomb= German.
Telephone= Cuban.
Film= French.
Car= German (or if counting steam; English)

What is the difference between Internet and World Wide Web?

>>3620808
The world wide web is a far later and more complex structure.

To dumb it down:
The internet is the connection. (i.e. the wire systems etc..)

The WEB hosts all the content, web pages, documents, hyperlinks, wikis, blogs etc..

The Web is accessible through the internet.

>>3620773

This anon is correct. The World Wide Web was invented at CERN in the early 1990s. This is basically all the stuff behind web browsers and web pages.

The Internet's predecessors were around for decades before that around the world's big universities and military wide area networks.

Woah you just made me think of the world in a new light ... oh wait, no you didn't.

Cars = France

Using the internet would be taking out your ipod and downloading a game while you wait for the train or something. The world wide web isn't involved

You use a browser to access the world wide web.

ARPANET
Mark I at NPL in the UK
CYCLADES
Merit Network
Tymnet
Telenet

All were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols.

The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks.

ARPANET is widely considered to be the main predecessor of the internet, but it was in no way the only one nor the first. It was however the most successful one, as some of the others never left experimental labs.

But still where do you draw the line and say:
>Now this network is the predecessor of the internet.

It was a collective effort, but ARPANET lead the way in many important respects.

Is.. ARPANET still 'up'? Meaning, if you had old technology at one of the university nodes, could you still connect using the old network?

Is there going to be a successor to the Internet?

The only thing that comes up my mind is Netsukuku.

That's a stupid question.
