The history of the Internet began with the development of
electronic computers in the 1950s. The public was first introduced to the
concepts that would lead to the Internet when a message was sent over the
ARPANet from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory at
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), after the second piece of network
equipment was installed at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Packet switched
networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network,
Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a
variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of
protocols for internetworking, in which multiple separate networks could be
joined together into a network of networks.
The first recorded
description of the social interactions that could be enabled through networking
was a series of memos written by J.C.R. Licklider of MIT in August 1962
discussing his "Galactic Network" concept. He envisioned a globally
interconnected set of computers through which everyone could quickly access
data and programs from any site. In spirit, the concept was very much like the
Internet of today. Licklider was the first head of the computer research
program at DARPA,4 starting in October 1962. While at DARPA he convinced his
successors at DARPA, Ivan Sutherland, Bob Taylor, and MIT researcher Lawrence
G. Roberts, of the importance of this networking concept.
In 1982, the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) was
standardized, and consequently, the concept of a world-wide network of
interconnected TCP/IP networks, called the Internet, was introduced. Access to
the ARPANET was expanded in 1981 when the National Science Foundation (NSF)
developed the Computer Science Network (CSNET) and again in 1986 when NSFNET
provided access to supercomputer sites in the United States from research and
education organizations. Commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) began to
emerge in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The ARPANET was decommissioned in
1990. The Internet was commercialized in 1995 when NSFNET was decommissioned,
removing the last restrictions on the use of the Internet to carry commercial
traffic.
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary
impact on culture and commerce, including the rise of near-instant
communication by electronic mail, instant messaging, Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) "phone calls", two-way interactive video calls, and
the World Wide Web with its discussion forums, blogs, social networking, and
online shopping sites. The research and education community continues to develop
and use advanced networks such as NSF's very high speed Backbone Network
Service (vBNS), Internet2, and National LambdaRail. Increasing amounts of data
are transmitted at higher and higher speeds over fiber optic networks operating
at 1-Gbit/s, 10-Gbit/s, or more. The Internet's takeover of the global
communication landscape was almost instant in historical terms: it only
communicated 1% of the information flowing through two-way telecommunications
networks in the year 1993, already 51% by 2000, and more than 97% of the
telecommunicated information by 2007.Today the Internet continues to grow,
driven by ever greater amounts of online information, commerce, entertainment,
and social networking.
Nowadays, many browsers are been used by the user in all
over the world such as Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Internet
Explorer.
