1. Brief History of Internet
The birth of the interne takes place in 1969 when
Advanced Research Projects Agency Network
(ARPANet) is commissioned by the department of
defense (DOD) for research in networking.
The ARPANET is a success from the very beginning.
Although originally designed to allow scientists to
share data and access remote computers, e‐mail
quickly becomes the most popular application. The
ARPANET becomes a high‐speed digital post office
as people use it to collaborate on research projects
and discuss topics of various interests. The
InterNetworking Working Group becomes the first
of several standards‐setting entities to govern the
growing network [10]. Vinton Cerf is elected the
first chairman of the INWG, and later becomes
known as a "Father of the Internet." [10]
In the 1980s, Bob Kahn and Vinton Cerf are key
members of a team that create TCP/IP, the
common language of all Internet computers. For
the first time the loose collection of networks
which made up the ARPANET is seen as an
"Internet", and the Internet as we know it today is
born. The mid‐80s marks a boom in the personal
computer and super‐minicomputer industries. The
combination of inexpensive desktop machines and
powerful, network‐ready servers allows many
companies to join the Internet for the first time.
Corporations begin to use the Internet to
communicate with each other and with their
customers.
In the 1990s, the internet began to become
available to the public. The World Wide Web was
born. Netscape and Microsoft were both
competing on developing a browser for the
internet. Internet continues to grow and surfing
the internet has become equivalent to TV viewing
for many users
