That's *Sir* Tim Berners-Lee to you.

Before him, the Internet was just a big telephone network for files.

And even Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web

will tell you that the WWW is not synonymous with the *Internet*, but is 
an application that runs on top of it.

The World Wide Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents 
accessed via the Internet.

It's not the hardware, or the communication links - they make it 
possible, but they aren't (strictly) it.

And just to put it in perspective, it's 8 years younger than the MPE IV 
spg you latecomers are so proud of ;-)
