History of internet, since 1961

  • The beginning of the internet

    The history of the Internet begins with the development of electronic computers in the 1950s. Initial concepts of packet networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.[1] The US Department of Defense awarded contracts as early as the 1960s for packet network systems, including the development of the ARPANET.(which would become the first network to use the Internet Protocol).

    Network of networks

    Packet switching networks such as ARPANET, Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of communications protocol. Labor.ARPANET project led to the development of protocols for internetworking, in which multiple separate networks could be joined into a network of networks.
  • Social networks

    Whatsapp, facebook, twitter , instagram, pinterest , etc
  • World wide web

    In the 1980s, research at CERN in Switzerland by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee resulted in the World Wide Web, linking hypertext documents into an information system, accessible from any node on the network.
  • great importance and constant changes

    Since the 1990s, the Internet's governance and organization has been of global importance to governments, commerce, civil society, and individuals. The organizations which held control of certain technical aspects of the Internet were the successors of the old ARPANET oversight and the current decision-makers in the day-to
  • Search engines

    Even before the World Wide Web, there were search engines that attempted to organize the Internet. The first of these was the Archie search engine from McGill University in 1990, followed in 1991 by WAIS and Gopher. All three of those systems predated the invention of the World Wide Web but all continued to index the Web and the rest of the Internet for several years after the Web appeared. There are still Gopher servers as of 2006, although there are a great many more web servers.
  • The impact in the world

    Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on culture, commerce, and technology, including the rise of near-instant communication by electronic mail, instant messaging, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone calls, two-way interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with its discussion forums, blogs, social networking, and online shopping sites.

    Popular search engines

    full-text Web search engine was WebCrawler in 1994. Before, only Web page titles were. Another early search engine, Lycos, was created in 1993.Yahoo! (founded 1994) and Altavista (founded 1995) and google, (1998) were the respective industry leaders.

    First mobiles with internet

    The first mobile phone with Internet connectivity was the Nokia 9000 Communicator.The viability of Internet services access on mobile phones was limited until prices came down from that model, and network providers started to develop systems and services conveniently accessible on phones. NTT DoCoMo in Japan launched the first mobile Internet service, i-mode, in 1999 and this is considered the birth of the mobile phone Internet services
