What is the World Wide Web?


We have been learning that the World Wide Web is NOT the internet! They are different things.

The world wide web is loads of information like songs and music, videos, facts, fake information and photos, games and messages. CH, FW, MJ, EP, OD, SD

In internet links all around the world.  It is millions of computers communicating with each other around the world. BN

In this picture there are loads of little packets of data (jigsaw pieces of a picture) travelling along the internet from one computer to another. In real life the packets of data are smaller than a piece of jigsaw. The packets are carried by routers. You need to know the IP address of both computers before they can be sent. SD

The routers all go in different wiggly lines because if they all went in one straight line it would take for ever! IT
