The internet is older than the web
They are not the same thing, and the twenty-year gap between them explains a lot.
ARPANET carried its first message in 1969; the World Wide Web was proposed by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN two decades later, in 1989. The internet is the network, the web is one service running on top of it. That distinction sits underneath most technology trivia, alongside the acronyms — HTTP, URL, HTML, Wi-Fi — that people use daily without ever unpacking.
