Research and analyze the key historical steps that have lead to the transformation of the Cold War Internet to the modern day age of Internet communication.
Unlike Technologies like the light bulb or even the telephone, no one singly invented the internet. It has evolved over time. The internet got its start in the United States more than 50 years ago as a government weapon in the Cold War. For years, scientist and researchers used it to talk and share data with one another. Today, we seem to use the internet for almost everything we do like pay bills, shop, and even find love.
In 1962 we had the birth of ARPAnet scientist and military experts were especially concerned about what could happen if a Soviet attack on the nation’s telephone system might happen .
In 1970, a computer scientist Vinton Cerf had begun developing a way for all of the computers on all of the world’s mini- networks to communicate with one another. He called this invention of his Transmission …show more content…
Control or TCP .
Throughout the 1980’s researchers and scientist used it to send files and data from one computer to another.
In 1991 the internet changed again. That year, a computer programmer in Switzerland named Tim Berners-Lee introduced the World Wide Web; an Internet that was not simply a way to send files from one place to another but was itself a “web” of information that anyone on the internet could retrieve. He created the Internet that we know today .
How has the speed of data transmission transformed the Internet and modern communications?
Over the past couple of decades, technology has transformed the internet and modern communication by making it more pervasive. Advances in computers and telephone technology have created an explosion in the ways we reach one another for example by cell, fax, text, blog, face book, and twitter. What are the various forms of Internet Communication, and what are examples of criminals exploiting these modes of
communication?
You have social networking, online phone calls, Emails, craigslist, your opinion matters, this is a site where you can voice your opinion on retail store items before you buy them. With Emails you have people all over the country sending you things like… you have inherited money, all you have to do is send this amount and well send you your inheritance, or maybe they say they have a sick child and they need your help paying medical bills send money now. On craigslist you have people posting things they want to sell and then when you meet with them, they rob or harm you. I have a friend who was looking to buy a car and she found one on craigslist, the guy told her to send twenty-five hundred dollars to him with an extra three hundred dollars and he would ship the car. She went to western union to send the money and called the guy to let him know it was there. Two days went by and she heard nothing, when she tried to call the phone was off and his post on craigslist was gone. She went to the cops but they couldn’t do anything because he could not be traced. He had her send a test question on western union because he “couldn’t find his ID” so she is out money and a car and has kids to take care of and all she got was a lesson learned.
In this day and age you really have to be careful what you do on the internet. Many think nothing bad will happen to them and then it does.
