History of the Internet

The Internet influenced the United States more than anything else in the 20th century. The Internet first technically started in 1969, when the U.S. Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency or ARPA connected networks at the University of California and the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). From there, just three years later the creation of the Email was born by Ray Tomlinson of BBN. With many other novelties of the Internet coming soon after, such as the Domain Name System (DNS) establishing .edu and .com, and the first web browser, World Wide Web by CERN. As the Internet flourished in the late 1990s it became more usable to the public and soon became routine to use, making great changes in society. The Internet was integrated

The early 1990s is when the modern day began. In 1992, and Oxford University computer scientists named Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web. This was a data sharing space that anyone with an internet connection can access. Not just government research centers and scientists with access to top of the of the line equipment. As the 1990’s continued, the Internet continued to globalize. In 1992, Erwise was the first successful Internet browser due to the graphical user interface software it supplied. Erwise paved the way for Mosaic and eventually Netscape which accounted for 90 percent of all internet browsing activity. As the Internet started to grow faster, companies such America Online and Compuserve offered Internet through a dial-up network connection. This allowed anyone with a home phone line access to the Internet. The Internet was now expanding into residential homes and was expanding globally. In 1994, the use of the internet was expanding by 2,500 percent a year. Entrepreneurs such as Jeff Bezos

What was to ultimately turned out to be known as ‘The Internet' was developed in the 1960s through funding by the US military so as to discover a means of making possible communication in the event of nuclear conflict . Until the beginning of 1990s, though, the Internet was the sphere of influence of academics as well as researchers as commercial use was proscribed. A process of commercialization began in the late 1980s and the wider use this encouraged was to be given an additional heightening with the emergence of the World Wide Web in the beginning of 1990s. The progress of browsers in the early 1990s which facilitated web pages to be viewed in a graphical format in color after that brought the benefits of the Internet to a wider

According to the research obtained to compare the two most popular brands of phones, “Released at the end of September, the iPhone 5 undoubtedly gave Apple the boost it needed to rise up

The internet has helped revolutionize the computer and communications world unlike ever before. The internet is one of the greatest innovations that the world has seen; it provides instant access to communications, endless supply of information, and various forms of entertainment at the click of a button. But when exactly did the internet come existence, and by whom, where and why? Were many influences, innovators, and inventors involved; or were only a select few involved in the creation of the internet that we cannot go a day without in our modern lives?

The internet matured in the 1970's as a result of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is sill used today. It was adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1980, and universally adopted in 1983. The usage of TCP/IP is what unites all elements of the net. Both public domain and commercial implementations of the roughly one hundred protocols of the TCP/IP protocol suite became available in the 1980's. During the early 1990's, Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol implementations also became available by the end of 1991, the Internet has grown to include some 5,000 networks in over three dozen countries, serving over 700,000 host computers used be over 4,000,000 people. By December 1996, about 627,000 Internet domain names had been registered and now there are more than 30 million registered.

The internet is arguably one of the greatest human inventions of all time. We have never been able to exchange and have access to such a large amount of information in all of human history. Some even say a child in developing Africa has access to more information now than the president of the United States 20 years ago. That is testament to how far we have come in the digital age. The question then is how do we keep track of some much data? And furthermore how can we ever find what we are looking in all of that information. Search engines are great tools that help us in finding this information. Domain names are just as important.

Looking at today’s generation we see that Internet and device usage is highly addicting, and personally for myself I’ve realized that while logging my daily usage over the past 5 days. Even though I knew I use the Internet a lot I was still in shock to see how much I used it over the past five days, and I came to realize that it would be very difficult for my self to live without the usage of Internet or my devices. Especially when it came to school I realized that, this is where I have used it the most but it was for necessary use most of the time. Throughout the five days I used two devices mainly my iPhone and my laptop. Although during that time I’ve noticed that I use a substantial amount of social media apps, and how every application requires the Internet.

The arrival of the internet initiated a new age in which people had the ability to create their own community. The universality of it allowed people from all across the globe to easily interact with each other which meant it was no longer necessary to live in proximity with one another in order to maintain contact and make friends. One of the applications that emerged as a result of the internet age was YouTube. YouTube allowed people to be able to view and hear others without having to be in vicinity of them. It quickly became a linking force between people and allowed them to expand beyond their social bubble which provided opportunities for them to have contact with people who live far away. The years following its launch have only strengthened its position as a source of connection between people as it is increasingly used as a platform to share one’s life.

The Internet is and always will be the most revolutionary thing of our time. The internet is literally is, going, and will be the most important thing in our entire existence. It alone has made communication much easier and faster world wide. With it's invention, it made telegraphs, telephones, radios seem out of date. But in the Internets early developments it was kept a secret.

The first web page was designed to tell people about the World Wide Web. “In August 1991, Tim Berners-Lee published the first website, a simple, text-based page with a few links.” (Chapman, 2009). What people don’t realize is all the stepping stones that led to this technological breakthrough. December 9, 1968, Douglas Engelbart and his team demonstrated the first word processing system. October 29, 1969, the University of Stanford and UCLA sent the first message over the internet using interface message processors. In 1971 Ray Tomlinson sent the first e-mail to himself. December 1, 1971, Michael Hart used $1 million worth of computer time to store public domain books and documents for people to eventually access for free. (Beattie,

As early as the 1990s gave way to the birth of Internet, Web 1.0, where many corporations and large business started to take advantage of this new technology that they would give them another avenue of an advertisement than just radio, TVs, newspapers, and magazines. Although, this version of the Internet was only available to other business consumers with little or no access to the public. The pages of the Web 1.0 were static content display pages with only words and hyperlinks to other static pages with no imagery embedded in them and had no interaction with them and could only use Internet Protocols (IP) address to arrive and transfers the static pages of worded advertisements.

The internet is an ever increasingly powerful tool for finding everything from entertainment to reference to daily news. When first created, the internet was only a shadow of what it has become. Most people didn't even have a computer, let alone a connection to the internet. In the last decade, however, computers have become more and more affordable, and internet service providers have become far more widespread. According to the World Almanac and Book Of Facts 2001 "By early 2000, more than 300 million people around the world were using the Internet, and it is estimated that by 2005, 1 billion people may be connected" (World Almanac). As with any new, powerful technology, the internet has

When studying the creation of the internet, it is important to remember that not one single man directly created the web that we know today. Rather, many brilliant minds, over time, added and refined the experience for the greater good. Originally, the earliest version of the internet was constructed as a tool for US warfare.
