Study Notes
History of the Internet
Early Development (1960s-1980s)
- The Internet originated from the United States Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) project in 1969
- The first network, called ARPANET, was developed to connect computers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), and the University of Utah
- The first message sent over ARPANET was "LO" in 1969, intended to be "LOGIN" but the system crashed
Expansion and Globalization (1980s-1990s)
- The Internet Protocol (IP) was developed in 1983 by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, allowing different networks to communicate with each other
- The Domain Name System (DNS) was introduced in 1985, making it easier for users to access websites using domain names instead of IP addresses
- The World Wide Web (WWW) was invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, making it easy for users to access and share information using web browsers and hyperlinks
- The Internet became widely available to the public in the 1990s, with the number of users growing from 16 million in 1995 to over 400 million in 2000
Modern Era (2000s-present)
- The Internet has become an essential part of modern life, with widespread use for communication, education, commerce, and entertainment
- The rise of broadband connectivity, social media, and mobile devices has transformed the way people interact and access information online
- Concerns about online security, privacy, and censorship have become increasingly important, with ongoing efforts to develop and implement regulations and safeguards.
