The use of internet become popular to the general public in 1994 but it took almost four years to develop the security protocols such as HTTP and DSL, these protocols allowed rapid access as well as a persistent connection to the internet hence by 2000, several business companies both in the United States and Western Europe were…
Your paper should include how the Internet was invented and evolved over time. Include ARPANET and all of the events on a timeline up to today, and you must describe the events in a way that a non-technical peson might understand. The networking protocols must be discussed, discuss Internet2 and it 's relationship to the conventional Internet.…
The Internet, or the Net, is a global system of interrelated computer networks. This valuable communication medium was created as a product of the Cold War, and it saw its beginning in 1969 as ARPANet, where it was…

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 community. The World Wide Web was to develop at an exponential rate together in terms of the number of websites as well as users as shown in Figures 1. This changed some in the business community to its potential as a means of communication also as a sales and marketing channel.…

In 1836 the telegraph is invented, a patent was submitted by Cooke and Wheatstone. This brought about the revolution of human communications. The telegraph used the Morse Code to communicate between two points. This is not unlike the way computers communicate today, the modern day PC 's use binary code (0/1 's) to deliver data. Of course binary code is much faster. The years between 1858 and 1866 brought us the Transatlantic cable. It allowed direct instantaneous communication across the Atlantic. Today, the cables connect all continents and are still a main hub for telecommunications. In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell exhibits the Telephone. The telephone exchanges provide the backbone of Internet connection even up to now. Modems provide Digital to Audio conversions to allow computers to connect over the telephone network. In 1957 USSR launches Sputnik, which was the first artificial earth satellite. This launched the start of global telecommunications. Satellites play an important role in transmitting all sorts of data today. In response to this U.S. forms the Advanced Research Projects Agency, also known as ARPA, within the Department of Defense. This was done to establish U.S. lead in science and technology applicable to the military. In the period between 1962 and 1968 Packet-switching (PS) is developed. Internet relies on packets to transfer data. The origin of PS was military based. It was developed…
Back in the early 1960s’, ARPANET was created by many sophisticated engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicians. The ARPANET design allowed computers to connect, run on different operating systems, and without ARPANET, the Internet wouldn't look or behave the way it does today, it may not even exist. As technology advanced technicians began making advancements with combing the ARPANET network to the Satellite Network (SATNET). The technical term for the connection between the networks is inter-networking or better known today for many as the Internet. In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee developed a system designed to simplify navigation on the Internet which became known as the World Wide Web. As the years went by, and as the technology advanced so did the internet search engines. Microsoft's full scale entry into the browser, server, and Internet Service Provider market completed the major shift over to a commercially based…
-1962: This Internet Timeline begins in 1962, before the word ‘Internet’ is invented. The world’s 10,000 computers are primitive, although they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have only a few thousand words of magnetic core memory, and programming…
Ten Ways the Internet Has Changed the World It is hard to believe how young the Internet still is. It has only been around for merely twenty-five to thirty years and started out as an insignificant tool in its infancy. Few people had access to the Internet, yet it now plays such an...…
Since 'the internet is a vast global interconnection of some 100,000 computer networks around the world all of which use a common set of technical protocols (called Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocols of TCP/IP) in routing data across those networks' (Pavilk. J, 1998, pp29), the ubiquity of personal computers can be considered as one of the reasons in explaining the rapid growth of the Internet. The first personal computer was available on the market on 9 September 1975 from IBM, which cost from US$8975 to US$19,975 according of…
Without a doubt, the Internet is undergoing a major transition as it experiences a tremendous influx of new users. Due to the anarchic, distributed nature of the net, we cannot even begin to enumerate the population of the Internet or its growth. As more of the world's population moves on-line,…
In the 1990’s the internet has change society by reshaping it to a modern society. The internet has changed social activities and created new cultural norms. The internet brought new ways to contact people from all around the world and to bring news and information in one location. It also provided online banking, online shopping, and many more great things that provide by the internet. This also made it easier for hospitals to obtain you medical history in case of an emergency.…
• The USSR launches the first satellite, Sputnik. To compete against the USSR's success at launching the first satellite, the United States Department of Defense creates the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). ARPA is responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military.…
