I think it's fair to say that most people have gotten accustomed to using
0:03
the terms internet and web interchangeably I mean it's all the same
0:08
thing right where you SN all your time into World of Warcraft and procure the
0:12
dankest of memes well actually although
0:15
the net and the web are pretty much married to each other they're
0:20
fundamentally different the term internet was actually coined as a short
0:25
word for inter networking which is what
0:28
the internet actually is I huge systems
0:31
of interconnected intranets or computer
0:34
networks from all over the globe as I explained in this video now the internet
0:40
supports lots of different Services just one of which is the worldwide web which
0:45
uses URLs or uniform resource locators
0:49
to locate stuff and hypertext languages
0:52
such as HTML that can be rendered by your internet browser as a web page
0:58
think of it this way all all of the websites you enjoy like YouTube lestech
1:02
tips.com and maybe some of the slightly more questionable stuff with their
1:07
onscreen text and Graphics are kind of like movie theaters that you have to
1:11
drive through the theaters are like the worldwide web but the road that you take
1:16
to get there that's the internet the web is essentially a virtual space where all
1:21
that sweet content is stored and accessed using a protocol called HTTP
1:27
but the internet is the thing that keeps it all connected and just like on a real
1:32
Highway you're not under any obligation to actually drive to a movie theater
1:36
unless your job is to serve popcorn to unruly teenagers at a Twilight release
1:40
there are plenty of services we access via the Internet that aren't part of the
1:44
web for instance if you use a non-browser-based email server through a
1:48
program like Outlook you're probably using protocols called SMTP or pop which
1:54
lie outside of the web another way we use the internet without using the web
1:59
is with file transfers schemes like bit
2:02
torrent peer-to-peer networking and FTP
2:06
don't use HTTP and bypass the web entirely even popular services like
2:11
Spotify various Game servers certain VoIP phones and many mobile apps
2:17
communicate using different protocols than the web these things are separated
2:21
from web traffic by connecting to servers using a different port than HTTP
2:26
which usually goes through port number 80 and although a lot of this stuff
2:29
might seem like it only became popular recently the web has been competing with
2:34
other internet services for a long time one of the most well-known of these was
2:38
called gopher which was something of a rival to the web in the late 1980s and
2:43
early 1990s like the web gopher could also be used to display documents via
2:47
the internet but the flexibility of HTML and development of graphical web
2:52
browsers like Mosaic made the web dominant by the mid 1990s and onward it
2:57
marched with web-based email providers like Hotmail and later Gmail mostly
3:02
replacing you know clients like Outlook you know what your grandma uses with
3:06
video streaming and browsers taking over from downloading the files from FTP
3:11
servers and even the old discussion service uset taking a back seat to the
3:16
ever popular Message Board making it easier for us to troll each other
3:20
without special software and don't forget Google wants to move even more
3:25
all but the most basic functionality of our computers even productivity software
3:29
like word processors to web apps with Chrome OS but here's an interesting fact
3:35
web use is actually slowing down even
3:39
with all the stuff we can do through a browser even things like rudimentary
3:42
video editing the rise of mobile and
3:46
console apps that while they use the internet don't use HTTP has meant that
3:51
web usage has been steadily decreasing for the last few years but even so the
3:56
web is an extremely powerful tool so don't worry it's not going anywhere
