Internet history

Telecommunication Cables

1869

The First step to the internet process is Telecommunication Cables.
They were successfully placed down in 1869.They made communication to longer distances more efficient and fast.

Packets

1960

A Packet is collection of data that is used by computers to communicate with each other, usually as part of a network.Packets allow computers on a network to communicate more quickly and easily.

Arpanets

1967

The initial purpose was to communicate with and share computer resources with mainly scientific users at the connected institutions. ARPANET took advantage of the new idea of sending information in small units called packets that could be routed on different paths and reconstructed at their destination.

First Email

1971

Sent by computer engineer Ray Tomlinson in 1971, the email was simply a test message to himself. The email was sent from one computer to another computer sitting right beside it.

First Internet provider

1974

Telenet was an American commercial packet switched network which went into service in 1974.It was the first packet-switched network service that was available to the general public

Optics Cable

1975

They were significant because they play a big role in providing high-performance data networking and a much better way of communicating with other people.it was first successfully layed down and used in the 1980s

TCP

1978

TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data.

DNS

1985

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phone book of the Internet. Humans access information online through domain names, like espn.com or google.com Web browsers interact through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet resources.

Registered Domains.

The first domain name registered was Symbolics.com. It was registered March 15, 1985, to Symbolics Inc.A domain name adds credibility to your small business.

NSFNET

1986

SFNET was a network for research computing deployed in the mid-1980s that in time also became the first backbone infrastructure for the commercial public Internet. Created as a result of a 1985 National Science Foundation (NSF) initiative, NSFNET established a high-speed connection among the five NSF supercomputer centers and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and provided external access for scientists, researchers, and engineers who were not located near the computing centers.

First Router

1987

The first multiprotocol routers were independently created by staff researchers at MIT and Stanford in 1981; the Stanford router was done by William Yeager, and the MIT one by Noel Chiappa; both were also based on PDP-11s. Virtually all networking now uses TCP/IP, but multiprotocol routers are still manufactured.

First Dial Up

1992

The first iteration of the Internet available for commercial use was dial-up. Dial-up Internet required a phone-line to operate, so phone calls couldn't be made using a landline while the Internet was in use. Speed was a significant issue in the early days. By 1998, the best connection users could hope for was 56Kbps.

HTML

1993

First developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language. ... Every web page you see on the Internet is written using one version of HTML code or another

Netscape
