History of the Internet
• Government and Universities over 30 years
• Who’s connected today?– Individuals– Educational institutions– Government– Research– Medical– Businesses– Everyone!

ARPANetAdvanced Research Projects Agency Network
• 1969 – US Department of Defense and Rand Corporation
• Origins– Cold War – fear that a bomb could demolish
computing capabilities– Several computers, geographically dispersed,
networked together– Plan – if one computer was disabled, others could
carry on using alternative communication routes
![Page 6: The Internet: A Resource for All of Us](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020108/58749e931a28abb6508b91ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ARPANetTransmitting the Message
• Messages divided into packets
• TCP/IP protocol– TCP – does the packeting and
reassembling of the message– IP – handles the addressing
![Page 7: The Internet: A Resource for All of Us](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020108/58749e931a28abb6508b91ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
ARPANetExpands Beyond the Military
• Research computers from universities
• Defense contractors
• Needed technical expertise to work on Internet

Tim Berners-Lee
• 1990• Perceived a spider’s web of computers with
links from computer to computer• CERN site
– Dr. Berners-Lee’s physics laboratory– Birthplace of the World Wide Web

ARPANet to Internet
• TCP/IP software is public domain
• Network became more valuable as it embraced other networks
• ARPANet disappears
![Page 11: The Internet: A Resource for All of Us](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020108/58749e931a28abb6508b91ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Internet Explosion
• Mid 1990s
• Estimate over 333 million users worldwide
• Part of our daily lives
• Four factors– TCP/IP standard– Ability to link from site to site– Ease of use of browser– Growth of PC and LANs that can connect
