DEVELOPMENT

OF THE INTERNET
 WHAT IS INTERNET?
The Internet is a global information network
that connects millions of computers.

It is growing exponentially and provides a

unique information resource that is global,
diverse and current.
 WHAT IS NETWORK?
A network is an interconnection of a
group of computers
PIONEERS OF
INTERNET
 Robert E Kahn is an American
computer scientist, who along
with Vinton Cerf invented the
Transmission Control Protocol
and the Internet protocol which
are the heart of the Internet.
 ARPANET
ARPANET was developed under the direction
of the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency
(ARPA) in 1969.
The project intended to serve the military and
researchers with multiple paths of computers
linking together for sharing data’s.

It was the world's first operational packet

switching network
and predecessor of the Internet.
 ARPANET
It connected computers at four universities
across the country:
• University of California at Los Angeles,
Stanford Research Institute
• University of California at Santa Barbara and
University of Utah.
 E-MAIL
Electronic mail is introduced in 1972 by Ray
Tomlinson, a Cambridge, computer scientist.
 E-MAIL
He used the @ to distinguish between the
sender's name and network name in the email
address.

With 1973- 75% of the traffic was E-mail.

Despite what the world wide web offers, email
remains the most important application of the
Internet and the most widely used facility it has.
 DOMAIN NAME

In 1984 Domain Name System(DNS) was

established with network addresses identified by
extensions such as .com, .org,
and .edu
Writer William Gibson coins the term
"cyberspace."
 DOMAIN NAME

Fueled by the popularity of the web, the use of

the Internet exploded after 1990. This forced the
US Government to turnover management of the
net to independent organizations beginning in
1995.
That brings us to the modern day use of the
World Wide Web (www).
 THE WORLD WIDE WEB

In 1990 Tim Berners-Lee of CERN (European

Laboratory for Particle Physics) developed a
new technique for distributing information on
the Internet. He calls it the World Wide WEB
www
 MOSAIC
 Mosaic was developed by Marc Andreeson in
1993.

 It was the first Internet Web Browser.

It becomes the dominant navigating system for
the World Wide Web, which at this time
accounts for merely 1% of all Internet tra
 CONCLUSION
The internet has deeply ingrained in our culture
and our daily lives as:

 Source of news
 facts and figures Communication tool
 Banking Shopping
