So many people are browsing websites, sharing images and other data online, and for them we can say that they are consumers.
These
 consumers do not need to know the details about the technology that is 
used to enable that online content for them. The average consumer thinks
 that he is using "internet", although, in fact he is using "www" (world
 wide web service) when he is browsing websites, that is enabled over 
the infrastructure that is "internet".
Many hostnames used for the World Wide Web begin with www because of the long-standing practice of naming Internet hosts according to the services they provide.
When a user submits an incomplete domain name to a web browser in its 
address bar input field, some web browsers automatically try adding the 
prefix "www" to the beginning of it and possibly ".com", ".org" and 
".net" at the end, depending on what might be missing. 
available and consumed by the intended target - the consumer.
Terminology must be adequate and conformed to be digested by consumer, not the constructor.
WWW service will remain our main information space, but layman will call it "internet" to keep it simple. 
Basically
 “the internet” is the infrastructure on which the worldwide popular 
“www service” is running on. However, for consumers there is not need to
 think of those two as separate entity as it would provoke confusion.
The Internet has no centralized governance in either technological 
implementation or policies for access and usage; each constituent 
network sets its own policies.
