The '''World Wide Web''' (abbreviated as '''WWW''' or '''W3''', commonly known as '''the web'''), is a [[information system|system]] of interlinked [[hypertext]] documents accessed via the [[Internet]]. With a [[web browser]], one can view [[web page]]s that may contain text, images, videos, and other [[multimedia]], and [[web navigation|navigate]] between them via [[hyperlink]]s. <!-- this is the 1st paragraph of [[World Wide Web]] -->
The terms Internet and [[World Wide Web]] are often used in every-day speech without much distinction (as can be seen in the several subcategories below, titled "Internet ..." that should be "World Wide Web ..."). However, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not one and the same. The Internet is a global data communications system. It is a hardware and software infrastructure that provides connectivity between computers. Simply, "Internet is a network of networks", where two or more than two computers connected through the wired or wireless network for sending and receiving the date like- mails, video, song etc. In contrast, the Web is one of the services communicated via the Internet. The Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by [[hyperlinks]] and [[URL]]s. Other services using the internet include [[electronic mail]], [[File Transfer Protocol]], [[Telnet]], [[online chat]], [[Voice over Internet Protocol]], [[Instant messaging]], [[Fax]], and [[Usenet]]. <!-- this same text, less parenthetical comment, is in [[:Category:Internet]] -->
<!-- other services are listed so that people cataloging articles will be less likely to include those articles here -->
