People use the word "internet" wrong. When speaking of web pages and information viewed through web browsers like Firefox and internet explorer, that is referred to as the "World Wide Web" or just "The Web" for short. The internet is everything that requires an "internet connection", such as instant messengers and many other applications/software. Think of it like the difference between Pool and Billiards. Billiards is all games played on a Billiards Table. Pool is just one of the Billiards games. So Billiards would be the internet and Pool would be The Web because it's just one part of the internet. I'm tired of people calling "The Web" - "The Internet". Try and learn the terminology and use it correctly.
