Was the Internet used in 1965?

The Internet as we now know it did not exist in 1965. However, the foundations of the Internet were being designed and used about that time. It started out as a government program known as ARPANET and was created by ARPA - Advanced Research Projects Agency, which later became DARPA - Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Was ARPANET the first to use the Internet?

ARPANet was the forerunner to the modern internet. After World War II the American Government set up the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). One of their tasks was that they had to design a communications system that would not collapse if part of it was knocked out by a bomb. ARPANet was the result of this, in about 1969. In the following decades more networks were set up and linked together. Common standards between all these systems were agreed upon and in 1989, the internet came into being.


What is a computer network and why it is useful?

A computer network - is two or more computers linked together. It's useful - because computers can communicate 'live' with each other. Additionally - If computers are networked, you only need one printer. All the computers on the network 'share' the printer between them.

How did the Internet get its name?

The word Internet comes from "Inter-Networking" which is simply the description applied to several "computer networks" linked together. The concept of internetworking first appeared to enable the connection of research and academic institutions. In 1983, it had reached a point whereby individual networks could be connected securely and so that when a single component failed it did not bring down the whole network, or "net". "Inter-network" has come to popularly refer to multiple networks not owned by one entity. It is possible to have an "Inter-network" that is not open to the public therefore forming an "Inter-network" that is not part of THE Internet. "Intra-network" indicates multiple networks joined together but owned by one entity and closed off from any outsiders. The Internet is not the same as the World Wide Web, the establishment of which is ascribed to Tim Berners-Lee. The web relies on the internet, but the internet does not rely on the web. The internet is the hardware underpinning the www, from cables that are occasionally inadvertently cut by trawlermen to enormous "switches" that route information. Regarding the actual etymology of the word There are two parts to this word: the prefix "inter-", and "net", short for "network". The prefix "inter" comes from Latin, meaning (in this context) "within a group". The word network itself comes from the origins meaning "intersecting lines", in the same sense as a network of streets; computers logically connect to each other through a series of logically interconnected lines of communication.
