    Web is just the website part. Like web pages you see in the web browser. Tim Berners Lee invented this part.

    Internet encompasses more things. For example, sending texts in some mobile app. You’re not necessarily seeing a web page. You’re just sending data from your device to some other device in the world.

    Or to be more technical: web is HTTP. Internet is that and everything else (like FTP, SMTP, SSH, etc).
