According to today's Daily Writing Tips - http://www.dailywritingtips.com/ -
The Internet existed before the Web.
The internet - i in the lower case - was “a computer network consisting of or connecting a number of smaller networks, such as two or more local area networks connected by a shared communications protocol.”
The Internet - I in the upper case - is a global computer network that offers a range of communication facilities, one of which is the Web or the World Wide Web created in the 1990s by Tim Berners-Lee, a graduate of Oxford University. He created a system of interlinked documents (e.g., web pages) that could be easily accessed by anyone using a browser.
Besides the Web, the other services that run on the Internet are the email, FTP, and Skype.
