The Internet - This is a collection of networked nodes that contain vast amounts of information. It starts out very small and begins mushrooming around 1993.

The World Wide Web - This consists of networked nodes that are named with URLs such as www.something.com or www.something.net. One can think of it as a graphical interface that uses clicking navigation.

Search - This term refers to an online application that helps users find what they are looking for. The first one of these is Archie, while Google and Yahoo are major examples today.
