History of the Internet

Before proceeding with the history of the Internet that never sleeps it, let us know what the Internet: Interconnection-Networking (Internet) is an entire network of computers connected together using a global system standard Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol Suite (TCP / IP) as the packet exchange protocol (packet switching communication protocol) to serve billions of users worldwide. Internet is the biggest circuit called the Internet. How to connect a series with this rule is called internetworking. The Internet is a computer network that is established by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1969, through a project called ARPANET ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), where they demonstrated how the computer hardware and software that is based on UNIX, we can make communication within the infinity through phone lines. ARPANET project designing a network, reliability, how much information can be transferred, and finally all the standards that they set into the embryo development of new protocols that are now known as TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). The initial purpose of the project is built for military purposes. At that time the United States Department of Defense (U.S. Department of Defense) create a computer network system that spread by connecting computers in areas vital to address the problems in the event of a nuclear attack and to avoid the occurrence of centralized information, which in the event of war can easily be destroyed. At first ARPANET only 4 sites linking only Stanford Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, University of Utah, where they form an integrated network in 1969, and in general the ARPANET was introduced in October 1972. Not long after the project is growing rapidly in all regions, and all universities in the country wants to join, thus making it difficult to set the ARPANET. Therefore widened ARPANET split into two, namely "MILNET" for military purposes and the "ARPANET" new smaller for non-military purposes, such as universities. Combined the two networks came to be known as the DARPA Internet, which then reduces to the Internet. Free guarded by bilateral or multilateral agreements and technical specifications (protocol which describes the data transfer between the circuit). These protocols established by the talk of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which is open to the public. The agency issued documents that are recognized as RFC (Request for Comments). Some RFCs are Internet Standards (Internet Standard), by the Internet Architecture Board (Internet Architecture Board - IAB). Internet protocols are commonly used are IP, TCP, UDP, DNS, PPP, SLIP, ICMP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, FTP, LDAP, and SSL. Some of the popular services on the Internet using the above protocol are e / mail, Usenet, Newsgroups, share files (File Sharing), WWW (World Wide Web), Gopher, session access (Session Access), WAIS, finger, IRC, MUD, and Mush. Among all of these, email / electronic mail and the World Wide Web is more often used, and many other services are built upon them, such as mailing lists (Mailing List) and Weblog. Internet allows the current service (real-time service), such as web radio, and webcast, which can be accessed around the world. Also through the Internet it is possible to communicate directly between two or more users through instant messenger programs such as Camfrog, Pidgin (Gaim), Trilian, Kopete, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN Messenger Windows Live Messenger, Twitter, Facebook and so forth. Some of the popular Internet service is based on a closed system (Proprietary System), is such as IRC, ICQ, AIM, CDDB, and Gnutella. The number of Internet users is large and growing, has embodied the culture of the Internet. The Internet also has a considerable influence over science, and world view. With only berpandukan search engines like Google, users worldwide have easy Internet access over a variety of information. Compared with books and libraries, the Internet represents a / knowledge of information and data to extremes. The development of the Internet also has affected economic development. Various sale and purchase transactions that previously could only be done by face-to-face (and some very small by mail or telephone), is now very easy and often done via the Internet. Transactions over the Internet is known as e-commerce. Associated with the government, the Internet also fueled the growth of government transparency through the implementation of e-government such as in the city or in the villages which was successfully deliver increased local revenue by utilizing the Internet for transparency in the management of public funds and cuts through the red tape, so that residents in the area of ​​the stretcher so in Thus benefited civil servants can also be improved  her welfare because local revenue increased sharply. That bit about the Internet. when much less please add in the comments field on, hopefully add insight and useful.
