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…
The Internet Protocol (IP) sits in the middle of the five-layer TCP/IP model. IT provides service to the layers above it and receives services from the layers below it. Almost every computing device on the planet communicates in some way, and most of those use IP. IP exists as an Internet standard protocol, also called ipv4, although it is mostly just referred to as IP. IP was created in the 1970s, but did not reach standard status as the IPv4 RFC until the 1980s.…

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…
The internet is a massive network of networks that connects personal computers, cell phones, GPS units and MP3 players. The internet started in the 1960’s and its massive hardware combination of millions of personal, business and government computers that are connected like roads and highways.…
Through the past several decades the advancement of technology has evolved. Among one of the advancements was the Internet. The Internet is a worldwide of networks connecting millions of computers. Through the Internet countries are able to exchange data, news and opinions. It started in the 1960’s when the internet was originally being used for government which later evolved to the world (Computer history museum, 2006). Over the past forty years the internet has changed technology of computers and how the world communicates, online banking, social networking, and online shopping. The Internet we know today grew from seeds planted by the U.S. Government. The Department of Defense issued a twenty thousand dollar contract on December 6, 1967 for the purpose of studying the design and specification of a computer network (Internet History from ARPANET to Broadband, 2007). It was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969 and was first known as the ARPANet (Computer history museum, 2006). The ARPA laid the groundwork which later became the internet. By 1992 the Internet has one million hosts (Ganna, 2006). Through the years the Internet has changed the way people live and run businesses. My project will walk through the discovery and evolution of the Internet.…
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.…

Back in the early 2000’s the internet was still expanding, looking for new ways to make it more easily accessible for millions of users around the world. It’s main purpose was to allow users to search for information they were most interested in, so they could read and learn about it. Internet was very simple, it had no advertisements, no shopping magazines and no other way of communication but sending an email from one person to another.…
Internet Protocols were firstly developed in mid- 1970s, when the DARPA ( Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency) became interested in establishing a packet-switched network that would facilate communication between dissimilar computer system in research institutions. The result of this development effort was Internet Protocol suite , completed in 1970s.…
