Chances are, anyone who is reading this paper has at one time, at least, surfed the net once. Don't worry if you haven't, I will explain everything you need to know about the Internet and the World Wide Web. Including how it started, it's growth, and the purpose it serves in today's society.
The Internet was born about 20 years ago, as a U.S. Defense Department network called the ARPnet. The ARPnetwork was an experimental network designed to support military research. It was research about how to build networks that could withstand partial outages (like bomb attacks) and still be able to function. From that point on, Internet developers were responding to the market

Advances in the internet have changed the way America works,learns,and communicates. The internet has become an integral part of our social life. This has assisted us by communicating and research purposes.
There many variety of topics out there to talk or write about. Instead of waiting for the news to come on the television, everyone checks the forecast online now. The forecast online updates regularly and lets other know what to expect when they leave their house. People don’t just use the internet to check the weather but they also shop online. When the store does not have what they are looking for, they search it online for a better price and the online site has more option to choose from. The Internet is also used for socializing with others that does not live close by. Everyone uses the Internet to communicate and meet new people. It is also a great way to keep in touch with those who loves to travel or lives in other countries.
Back in the 18th century or even the 19th century in order to share information people would have to send letters or write them in a book to get published by a publishing company. Fast forward to the 20th century information can be shared in seconds just by clicking a few keyboards and hitting “enter”. The internet has become a pathway for information to fly through and with the internet comes great innovation that ranges from: air missiles to robots that will clean your house. The internet has brought our society great knowledge and opportunities but also some believe the internet has brought grave danger to our society. One of those firm believers is Chuck Klosterman, author of “Electric Funeral”. Klosterman address the people of the internet,
As much as the people criticize the internet there are some importance to it being here today. The internet allows people to stay in contact with others, social media is one of the distractions that the internet provides us with but it does help keep in touch with family members we don’t see every day. It allows us to know what’s happening in the world, for example the news about the chemical bombs that were hit in Syria. The internet provides information to the brain at a faster rate than what a newspaper would do.

Communication and networking for any purpose such as work, friendship, relationship, interests, employment, business, etc. has drastically changed with the Internet. It has become a much easier, quicker, and more effective process.
Another major utility of the internet is the ability to keep people connected. The internet allows friends and family to pay a low monthly price for e-mail, instant message and the ability to speak through a person’s computer. People can actually dial out to another computer and hold a conversation just as if they were on the phone.
The internet has become a part of every day life, in fact for many it is their life. You can meet other people, play games, do research, communicate with loved ones half way across the country, and now you can even shop and bank online.
Additionally, the Internet has benefited the world by connecting users to billions of pieces of information from universities, libraries and databases around the world. No matter where you are in the world as long as you have internet access you can learn anything you need to know about a topic in a matter of minutes. My work on this argument is an example of how the internet is beneficial to all who use it. Without access to the internet, this would have been much more labor intensive. It would have required many evenings away from home spent in a library doing research. Instead, I was able to do all of my research from work and home, which allowed for less time away from my son.
Especially the Internet is becoming more and more important for nearly everybody as it is one of the newest and most forward-looking media and surely "the" medium of the future.
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
