Remember the World Wide Web is just a part of the internet.

It's information shared through a stanadard protocol. http

There are a few more protocols, which can be considered part of the WWW. Gopher is such an example.

I thought the US Government started the internet as a private service, but it grew bigger, and became public.

I'm not sure though Confused

Bill Gates: "Microsoft has no need to support TCP/IP"
Bill Gates 2 years later: "Microsoft has invented a new protocol called 'TCP/IP'"

anyways...
yes it was created by the US government by a organization called ARPA

What are you talking about? Al Gore stole it form Bill Gates when he founded Texas Instruments. In turn, Bill Gates stole DOS, and a bunch of cheetos from the freezer. After this happened, the political penguins forced them to sell they're company to the squirrels for $5.00. This was called The Great Migration. DUH!!!

Everyone knows Al Gore invented the internet.

During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
