REVOLUTION OF THE INTERNET

The Internet is a computer network established by the US Department of Defense in 1969, through a project called ARPANET ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), ARPANET then design a network with the reliability of the information technology that can move large amounts of data, and in a short time , in 1972 established as a standard construction of a new protocol that is currently known TCP / IP (Transmission Control protocol / Internet protocol) protocol is a set of rules to connect between networks. This protocol was developed by Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf and this is the beginning of all internet history that is widely known until today.

The initial purpose of the construction project was for military purposes. At that time the US Department of Defense (US Department of Defense) to make a computer network system that is spread by linking computers in vulnerable areas to address the problem of a nuclear attack and to avoid the occurrence of centralized information, which in the event of war can be easily destroyed.

At first ARPANET only connect 4 sites only that the Stanford Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, University of Utah, where they formed a unified network in 1969, and in general the ARPANET was introduced in October 1972.

Not long after the project is growing rapidly throughout the region, and all the universities in the country wants to join, thus making it difficult to set the ARPANET. Therefore ARPANET split widened two, namely "MILNET" for military purposes and the "ARPANET" new smaller for non-military purposes, such as universities. Combined both networks eventually known as the DARPA Internet, which then reduces to the Internet.

Because the computers that make up the network are getting more, it takes a formal protocol that is recognized by all networks. In 1982 established the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, or TCP or IP that we know it all. To homogenize the address on existing computer networks, then in 1984 the domain name system, which we now know as DNS or Domain Name System. A computer connected to the existing network has more than 1000 computers. In 1987 the number of computers connected to the network soared 10-fold into 10,000.

ARPANET network becomes larger since then and began to be managed by the private sector in 1984, then more and more universities and start commercial company incorporated entrance. TCP / IP protocol into a common protocol agreed upon so that they can communicate with each other on this Internet network.

1990 is the year of the most historic, when Tim Berners Lee found the program editor and browser that can roam from one computer to another computer, which form a network. The program is called www, or the World Wide Web.

In 1992, computers that are connected to form a network has exceeded a million computers, and in the same year the term surfing the internet. In 1994, the website has grown to 3000 pages address, and for the first time in a virtual-shopping or e-retail surfaced on the internet. The world changed. In the same year Yahoo! established, which is also well-born Netscape Navigator 1.0.
