The internet is different from the world wide web, currently you are using the world wide web (WWW) the internet is what connects you to the WWW and allows you to use it. The internet was created thanks to the concept of e-mail and other forms of e communication. The idea that information could be transferred wirelessly began the idea of a centralized communication network (basically the internets dad). Originally the internet wasn't designed to host websites or domains, it was designed for communication and data transfer. Over time this morphed into GUI's (graphic user interface) in order to simplify the process (and to make it look nicer).
