The internet is a global network of interconnected computers and servers that share data via standardized protocols (e.g., TCP/IP). It enables services like websites, email, and cloud storage, functioning through infrastructure like fiber-optic cables, satellites, and ISPs.
Wi-Fi, on the other hand, is a wireless technology that allows devices (phones, laptops) to connect to a local network (like your home router) without cables. It uses radio waves (2.4GHz/5GHz bands) and is governed by IEEE 802.11 standards.
Key Differences:
Scope: The internet is worldwide; Wi-Fi is local (e.g., your home/office).
Function: Internet = data highway; Wi-Fi = wireless “last-mile” access to that highway.
Dependency: Wi-Fi needs a router connected to the internet to provide online access.
Medium: Internet relies on physical cables (mostly); Wi-Fi is wireless but limited in range (~100m).
Analogy: The internet is like electricity, while Wi-Fi is a power cord—you need both for devices to work, but they serve different roles.
Note: Wi-Fi ≠ internet. You can have Wi-Fi without internet (e.g., local file sharing), and internet without Wi-Fi (e.g., mobile data). Both revolutionized connectivity, with Wi-Fi making internet access portable.
