No... the www is just one of the applications of the internet. It has a related protocol: HTTP. It has to do with the traffic and presentation of web pages. E-mail is another application (and it's protocols, like SMTP & POP). There are many other, but www and e-mail is what interest most people. @ Daisychain:

The military had been using networking many, many years prior to the application coming to the EDU world. I think some more thinking on when the internet began.

Although Sept 2 1969 marks the beginning of networked computers, that hardly is the start of the internet, although it was a required step for the internet to appear. IMHO, Jan 1, 1983 should be day 1, mostly because that's when TCP/IP was adpted. The day 2 computers 1st comunicated using TCP/IP and through a router should be regarded as the first internet-like communication, and thus this day should mak the birthdate of the internet.
