History of the internet brief guide

The history of the Internet has its origin in information


theory and the efforts of scientists and engineers to build
and interconnect computer networks. The Internet Protocol
Suite, the set of rules used to communicate between
networks and devices on the Internet, arose from research
and development in the United States and involved
international collaboration, particularly with researchers in
the United Kingdom and France.

The Internet is actually a wire. Well, many wires that


connect computers all around the world.

The Internet is also infrastructure. It's a global network of


interconnected computers that communicate through a
standardised way with set protocols.
Really, it's a network of networks. It's a fully distributed
system of computing devices and it ensures end to end
connectivity through every part of the network. The aim
is for every device to be able to communicate with any
other device.

It has also created so many opportunities and has helped


helped humanity progress and has shaped our human
experience.  

There is nothing else like it – it's one of the greatest


inventions of all time. But do we ever stop to think why it
was created in the first place, how it all happened, or by
whom it was created? How the internet has become what
it is today?

This article is more of a journey back in time. We'll learn


about the origins of the Internet and how far it has come
throughout the years, as this can be beneficial in our
coding journeys.
