Internet Vs World Wide Web


For quite sometime I couldn’t make a clearly distinction between the two concepts-Internet and World Wide Web, popularly used in today’s world of information and communication. The two were more or less the same.  Thanks to internet training for editors, I came to understand that while Internet is a collection of interconnected physical infrastructure of computer networks,  the World Wide Web[WWW]is the collection on interconnected content accessed through internet. I believe that  good number of people use the two concepts  interchangeably probably because they are closely interrelated in the sense that internet acts as a bridge through which most of us can access WWW contents.

The Internet Revolution

First day of internet training for news editors  and  communication lecturers organised by MISA-TAN in collaboration with VIKES (Finnish Foundation for Media Development) went  great. The trainer Peik Johansson, a journalist and training consultant from Finland  facilitated discussion on internet revolution and its impact on people's life.
Among others was excited to learn about Project Guttenberg website. dedicated for online free books where one can download, read and even print the books.  
Similarly was excited on the training on developing our own blog. In fact the training gave an opportunity to make the very first personal blog.
I must admit that the training was very relevant as staff member for News and Current Affairs department of Tanzania Broadcasting Corporations- TBC, the training  will  enhance skills in collection, package and dissemination of  news and other current affairs information
