History of the Internet
Networking networking Internet - a worldwide system of computer networks vzayemospoluchenyh based on a set of Internet protocols Internet consists of millions of local and global private, public, academic, business and government networks, interconnected with various wired, optical and wireless technologies
1962 Liklayder Joseph (1915 -1990), head of advanced research projects Agency US suggested the World Wide Web.
1969 US Department of Defense launched a development project, which aimed to create a reliable system of information transmission in case of war. The agency proposed to develop this computer network. This network was called ARPANET.
Further development of the ARPANET • By 1971, developed the first program to send e-mail network, which immediately became very popular. • In 1973, due to the transatlantic cable was connected first foreign organizations from the UK and Norway - network has become international. • In 1970 a total network used for sending e-mail, but then appeared first mailings lists, newsgroups, and bulletin boards. • By the end of 1970 began to actively develop data transfer protocols that have been standardized in the years 1982 -1983.
The new network - NSFNet In 1984 he developed a system of domain names. Then in the ARPANET was a serious contender - a network NSFNet was formed from smaller networks, including known at the time of Usenet and Bitnet and had significantly more bandwidth than ARPANET. This network pid'yednalos year about 10 thousand computers; title "Internet" started to move seamlessly NSFNet.
In 1988, a protocol was invented Internet Relay Chat (IRC), through which the Internet was made possible real-time communication (chat).
1989 was born the concept of the snare, which suggested that the famous British scientist Tim Berners-Lee, also for two years developed the protocol HTTP, hypertext markup language HTML and identifiers URI.
1995 snare became the main supplier of information on the Internet, ahead of traffic for file transfer protocol FTP; was formed WWW. We can say that snares turned the Internet and created its modern look. Since 1996, the World Wide Web almost entirely replaced the notion "Internet".
January 5, 2011 the number of Internet users in the world reached 2 billion.
