Think of the Web as a sort of overlay on the Internet. The Internet is the system that links computers to communicate with each other, and was invented by the US military in the 60s (ARPANET). Before the World Wide Web, internet communication was through text-based email programs and things like Gopher (anyone else remember Gopher?) The Web was the beginning of http (hypertext) that allowed for the creation of graphical web pages that link to each other through hyperlinks. The Web is what most people today think of today when they think of the "Internet".

"The Web is what most people today think of today..."

Ack, that was lovely. I said "today" twice, didn't I?
