Basically, websites, like CUK, are part of the WorldWideWeb, which you connect to over the internet. When you use something like Skype or Spotify, they work over the internet too, but they're nothing to do with the WorldWideWeb.Comment

Not from me
This was then replicated on civilian networks and the internet was born. People would use services on the internet to book flights, get share prices etc. All green screen stuff and very slow.
This transfer of information was begging to be standardised. Tim Berners Lee basically provided the blueprint for this standardisation of information and the transfer of this information.
All web pages basically follow this convention being that they are written in HTML (HyperText Markup Language). They are transferred to your machine via HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).
The network of machines existed prior to this standardisation, the inter-connected network of machines - internet was around before HTML and HTTP.
So the internet pre-dates www, as the www was the standardisation of data exchange on this network.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

Imagine if the based were spread out it would look a bit like a web because of the interconnections.

HTTP is a text document used to describe the layout of a web page so isn't the best vehicle to send voice data. The application still uses the interconnected network (internet), but doesn't use www protocols such as HTTP as they are inefficient at transferring large and frequently changing pieces of data.Bazza gets caught
