The difference between a browser and the internet is similar to the difference between a car and a highway. Cars use the road a little like browsers use the Internet.

A browser is an application that runs on one computer to view information provided by other computers. They have become extremely sophisticated, and are capable of displaying text, audio, video, games, and more.

And just like a highway, the Internet supports many other kinds of traffic. Peer-to-peer file transfers, virtual private networks, and multi-cast video are just some examples of other types of applications that share the same "road" as your browser.
