History of the Internet

Before the widespread availability of networks, which led to interconnect with the Internet, most communication networks by their nature limited to communication between stations on the LAN and the current method of computer networking based on the centralized mainframe model basis. Several research programs have begun to explore and formulate the principles of networking between different physical networks, the development of packet-switched digital network model. This research, including the laboratories of Donald Davies (NPL), Paul Baran (RAND Corporation), and Leonard Kleinrock at MIT and UCLA. The research led to the development of packet switching solutions from multiple networks in the 1960s and 1970s [1], including ARPANET and X.25. Moreover, won the public access network systems and amateur popularity, especially Unix to Unix Copy (UUCP) and Fidonet. They were however still disjointed separate networks were limited by gateways between networks. This led to the implementation of packet switching to develop a protocol for the interconnection of networks, where multiple different networks could be combined into a super-network,. By defining a simple common network system, Internet protocol suite, the concept of the network from the physical implementation can be separated. This started disseminating Internetworking based in the idea of a global network called the Internet would be formally established on standard protocols in 1982. The acceptance came quickly, and the interconnection of telecommunications networks leading the Western world, and then the world began, how they can penetrate the global de facto standard for the global network. However, the growth gap between developed countries and the Third World have led a digital divide is still with us today.

Following the marketing and the introduction of Internet service providers of private management services in the 1980s and the expansion of the Internet for general use in the 1990s, the Internet has had a significant influence on culture and commerce. These include increased communication instantaneous, almost by electronic mail (e-mail), discussion forums on the text, and the World Wide Web. Investor speculation in new markets provided by these innovations would also lead to inflation and the subsequent collapse of the dot-com bubble. Yet, despite this continues to grow on the Internet
