Generally confused technical words - how to differentiate between internet and intranet?

Internet
The global network of computers constantly connected to each other using standardized communications protocols, specifically TCP/IP.

Intranet
A local network of computers using TCP/IP as the standard communications protocol. Usually an intranet features some sort of HTML content that you can use a browser to look at. Think of it as a mini, private Internet. Many companies have intranets that contain information only of use to their employees.
