The Internet : The Innovation Of The Internet

The author’s study of the Internet’s genesis makes systematic links between the technological development and its organizational, social, and cultural environment. There are many available histories on the Internet, in print and online. Most are well-documented information on technology and its history. Some mention the fundamental concepts of communication, information, and knowledge. Abbate's work, however, goes beyond ordinary facts and her findings are most revealing.

It is important to know the history of the internet. The internet is a worldwide network of computer systems that are connected to each other by cables (Howe, 2012). The internet first started out as a military experiment. In 1957, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was created by the United States department of Defense (Computer History Museum, 2004). The project was started after the Russians launched a satellite into space for communication reasons. The satellite was called SPUTNIK (Computer History Museum, 2004). It was rumored that President Eisenhower got worried and decided to get the United States to launch its own satellite. They recruited Dr. Joseph C. Licklider of MIT, was made head of the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO)(Computer History Museum, 2004). Their purpose of the project was to focus on improving the military use of computer information.

The first Internet introduced to the world is the Arpanet. Arpanet also known as The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network was a early packet switching network and the first network to use the protocol suite TCP/IP. Both technologies became the foundation of the Internet. The Arpanet inventors were Lick Licklider and Lawrence Roberts but they can't take all the credit because they worked for the Arpanet was originally created by the IPTO and went through censorship by DARPA. DARPA was planned by Lick Licklider and Lawrence Roberts. The Arpanet used the geographic location to send files and other thing to other locations. This was used by scientists and government officials. “The Arpanet was also considered as the first prototype of the Internet. On a cold war kind of day in 1969 work began on ARPAnet, the grandfather to the Internet. Designed as a computer version of the nuclear bomb shelter,

The Internet influenced the United States more than anything else in the 20th century. The Internet first technically started in 1969, when the U.S. Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency or ARPA connected networks at the University of California and the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). From there, just three years later the creation of the Email was born by Ray Tomlinson of BBN. With many other novelties of the Internet coming soon after, such as the Domain Name System (DNS) establishing .edu and .com, and the first web browser, World Wide Web by CERN. As the Internet flourished in the late 1990s it became more usable to the public and soon became routine to use, making great changes in society. The Internet was integrated

The Internet was first used for the military and government, created by the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). At this time, mass producing the computer was too expensive to mass produce to the entire public. The idea of the Internet emerged in the early 1960s and finally became a success in 1969 when it finally launched; the first connection between two computers finally became a reality creating a new computer network (History of the Internet).

Overall, the book tells us about the people involved the making of the Internet. Through the efforts of these geniuses, we see that the work on the "Arpanet" and Internet, as in the rest of the field of computing, was a team effort, with contributions from many individuals and organizations. And, as stated earlier, this effort also had much government support. Thus, many people and institutions were responsible in the making of this incredible instrument of computer technology.

In the text, the author gives a historical overview of the internet. He tells us that the internet was not an overnight phenomenon and not a single person’s efforts. He gives us a timeline of the development of the internet and the degree of changes it went through to give us the internet that we have today.

1989: Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee, an English computer scientist and invented the “World Wide Web (WWW).” He executed the first successful message between a Hypertext Transfer

The early 1990s is when the modern day began. In 1992, and Oxford University computer scientists named Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web. This was a data sharing space that anyone with an internet connection can access. Not just government research centers and scientists with access to top of the of the line equipment. As the 1990’s continued, the Internet continued to globalize. In 1992, Erwise was the first successful Internet browser due to the graphical user interface software it supplied. Erwise paved the way for Mosaic and eventually Netscape which accounted for 90 percent of all internet browsing activity. As the Internet started to grow faster, companies such America Online and Compuserve offered Internet through a dial-up network connection. This allowed anyone with a home phone line access to the Internet. The Internet was now expanding into residential homes and was expanding globally. In 1994, the use of the internet was expanding by 2,500 percent a year. Entrepreneurs such as Jeff Bezos

Internet Is Born. The World Wide Web, Internet Protocol (HTTP) and WWW language (HTML) and are created by Tim Berners-Lee.

In October 1969 two teams of computer scientists, linked computers over telephone lines to operate as a single system. The U.S. military supported the research, hoping to get communications that would work even if part of the system were disabled or destroyed in a nuclear attack. Which turned into the genesis of the "Internet Age." In the 90s the Internet changed every aspect of the daily life. Anyone with a computer, telephone, and modem literally had a digital library at their fingers. As the 90's came to an end a new kind of technology was beginning (Malvasi, Mark G., Greene 1).

Where Wizards Stay up Late, the Origins of the Internet. Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon walk us through the beginnings of the Internet. The authors will talk about how a computer-engineering firm produced the first prototypes of the "Arpanet," and how a group of men made the Internet as we know it today. It tells the intriguing story of how the technology for the Internet was devised. In many respects, it is very much a "behind-the-scenes" kind of documentary.

One of the most important attributions of the internet to the human being has been the ease in which information is exchanged. Before the invention of the internet, information was really

The conceptual foundation for the creation of the Internet was significantly developed by three individuals and a research conference, each of which changed the way we thought about technology by accurately predicting its future: Vannevar Bush wrote the first visionary description of the potential uses for information technology with his description of the "memex" automated library system. Norbet Wiener invented the field of Cybernetics, inspiring future researchers to focus on the use of technology to expand human compatibilities. The 1956 Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence Conference crystallized the concept that
