There are two terms that are often used to describe the same thing, and it should be added that said usage is incorrect. There is a difference between then Internet and the World Wide Web, being that the Internet is the global network of connected computers that houses the World Wide Web, which is simply a massive collection of data. Donald Davies and Paul Baran independently invented packet switched computer networking in the US and UK respectively, their work eventually leading to the creation of the Internet, making their work among, if not the earliest points to which the history of the Internet can be traced back to.
