Internet vs Web vs Deep Web vs Darkness

This may be helpful when we talk about how the search engines work on Wednesday!

Internet: the physical connections between computers

Web:

  • a protocol (software) that shows the interconnected pages on the Internet
  • one trillion page (5%)

Deep Web:

  • huge portions of the web that Google can’t see (includes dynamic content such as your FB feed)
  • 19 trillion pages (95%)

Dark Web:

  • separate webs that use a different protocol (software), including encryption and routing to allow for greater anonymity
