ARPANET for long distance computing, the scientists used it for communicating with each other. Each user had his/her own e-mail address. In 1973, “Development began on the protocol later to be called TCP/IP, it was developed by a group headed by Vinton Cerf from Stanford and Bob Kahn from DARPA. This new protocol was to allow diverse computer networks to interconnect and communicate with each other (Kristula 1974-1983).” During its development was when the term Internet was first used. TCP/IP was adopted

view files and information on a server. Several individuals such as Larry G. Roberts who invented the first long distance computer networks to Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf who invented the Transmission Control Protocol which moves data on the modern Internet and many others developed contributing technology that would later become the internet. (Cerf and Kahn) The Web was developed by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau in 1990. In 1989, while working at CERN, both men made proposals for hypertext systems
We question the faultfinders, dismiss existing conditions and see opportunity in disappointment. Our grounds, personnel and understudies are driven by positive thinking. It is not credulous; it is key. What's more, it has filled each achievement, permitting us to reclassify what's conceivable, over and over. This can-do point of view has brought us 13 Nobel Prizes, 12 MacArthur Fellows, more NCAA titles than any college and more Olympic awards than generally countries. Our personnel and graduated
The year is 1957 and the USSR has just launched the first artificial earth satellite. In response America launches the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) within the Department of Defense (DOD) to create America’s lead in science and technology. The Internet had its humble beginnings here, within ARPA’s many projects. The Internet has become one of the key symbols of today’s pop culture: everything has a “dot com” address; people do not say “call me,” but instead its “I’ll E-mail you;” and the
The Evolution and Growth of the Internet Many years ago a network was born having several computers connected and now, that same network has millions of computers connected at all times, it's called the Internet. This paper will explain the evolution and growth of the Internet. I will offer a guided tour though the evolution of the Internet and explain what this effect has on its growth and popularity. It's like a plague growing across the world, signs of its growth are seen everywhere. The Internet

The History of Computers Thousands of years ago calculations were done using people’s fingers and pebbles that were found just lying around. Technology has transformed so much that today the most complicated computations are done within seconds. Human dependency on computers is increasing everyday. Just think how hard it would be to live a week without a computer. We owe the advancements of computers and other such electronic devices to the intelligence of men of the past. The history of
What qualifies an invention as great? A good invention would be one that makes some aspect of life simpler. A great invention goes beyond that. It becomes ingrained into society as a part of everyday life, improves itself constantly, and leads to the rapid creation of more great inventions. I believe that since 1898, no invention fits that description more than the electronic computer. Since its creation, no device has changed so much, and so rapidly, as the computer. The original computer was nothing
Statement of Purpose Security of computer systems and networking has become an issue of extreme importance due to the rapid increase in Internet usage. Making computer systems and Internet more secure for the society is the goal that I have set for myself. I have continued to make serious efforts in this direction during my undergraduate education and presently at software industry. My urge to continue my efforts aggressively propelled my interests to pursue Masters of Computer Science at the Oklahoma

Freedom of Speech in Cyberspace Introduction As the Internet has become more widely recognized and used by people all over the world, it has brought a new medium in which information can very easily be broadcast to everyone with access to it. In 1995 there was a projected 26 million Internet users, which has grown to almost 300 million today. One major problem with this is that everyone represents different countries and provinces which have different outtakes on certain types of freedom
Internet Addiction ABSTRACT The Internet is the largest source of information in the world today.
