Internet is a
network of networks which is logically linked together by a globally unique address space based on the internet
protocol (IP) or its subsequent extensions or follow ones
Millions of
computer all over the would
are connected through the internet by
which a huge source of
information is accessible to people across the
world giving information in every field of human endvaour
ORIGIN OF INTERNET
In 1969 Department of Defence (DOD) of USA
started a network called ARPANET (advanced research projects administration
network) with one computer at
California and three at Utah. Later on other
universities and R and D institutions were allowed to connect to the
Network . APARNET quickly grew to
encompass the entire American continent
and became a part of APRANET. So the
network was broken into two smaller part
MILNET for managing military sites and APRANET (smaller ) for managing
non –military sites. Around 1980
, NSFNET (national science foundation Network ) was created. With the advancement of modern
communication facilities, other computer were also allowed to be linked up withy any computer of NSFNET. By 1990
many computers were looking up to NSFNET giving birth to internet.
And because
they had the time and motivation
graduate students on the various composes
performed much of the effort
necessary to make the early ARPANET actually work these students developed protocols, software, and hardware as needed inventing technology as they went along and
sharing it with staff at the other
sites. The free sharing of knowledge and technology
that ensured help to shape today’s internet culture, in which information
and soft ware are often freely shared.
Providing opportunity or equality
Indian
constitution ha introduced the term ‘equality because we are not getting equal
opportunities in all aspects. Education teachers us to give equal opportunities in all aspects
irrespective of caste, creed, color, sex and religion
Computer and
digital technologies had changed the
life of millions in some two decades as they were massively introduced into different spheres of mans activity
Once computers were invented, scientists started to think over building a network of them in order to have access to the information which is stored
on different machines (computers) remote from each other . this resulted
in the development of the
computer networking principles
which was later modified and turned into
the global computer network or
internet.
The word
“internet” was coined in 1985 by the US Defense Department, shortened from
internet work i.e. Inter-network.
The Oxford
Advanced Learners Dictionary 6th edition defined the internet as an international
computer network connecting other networks and computers from companies, universities, etc. Free dictionary.com defines
the internet as a single worldwide computer network that interconnects
other computer networks, on which
end –user services such as World Wide
Web Sites on data achieves, are located enabling data and other information to
be exchanged.
The internet in
simple terms is a network of the interlinked computer networking worldwide,
which is accessible to the general public. These interconnected computers work
by transmitting data through a special
type of
packet switching which is known as the internet protocol (IP)
The idea to build
a computer network was not sporadic. So
we shall explore the history of
what led (the development) to the internet we know
today.
