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.

Did the Department of Defense began the internet as a government experiment?

A single person did not create the Internet that we know and use today. Below is a listing of several different people who've helped contribute and develop the Internet.

The initial idea is credited as being Leonard Kleinrock'safter he published his first paper entitled "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets" on May 31, 1961.

In 1962 J.C.R. Licklider becomes the first Director of IPTO and gave his vision of a galactic network. In addition to the ideas from Licklider and Kleinrock, Robert Taylorhelped create the idea of the network, which later became ARPANET.

The Internet as we know it today first started being developed in the late 1960's.

In the summer of 1968, the Network Working Group (NWG) held its first meeting chaired by Elmer Shapiro with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) with attendees: Steve Carr, Steve Crocker, Jeff Rulifson, and Ron Stoughton. In the meeting the group discussed solving issues related to getting hosts to communicate with each other.

In December 1968, Elmer Shapiro with SRI released a report "A Study of Computer Network Design Parameters." Based on this work and earlier work done by Paul Baran,Thomas Marill and others; Lawrence Roberts and Barry Wessler helped to create the final version of the Interface Message Processor (IMP) specifications. Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. (BBN) was later awarded the contract to design and build the IMP sub network.

UCLA puts out a press release introducing the public to the Internet on July 3, 1969.

August 29, 1969 the first network switch and the first piece of network equipment called "IMP", which is short for (Interface Message Processor) is sent to UCLA. On September 2, 1969 the first data moves from UCLA host to the switch. In the picture to the right, is a picture of Leonard Kleinrock next to the IMP.

On Friday October 29, 1969 at 10:30 p.m., the first Internet message was sent from computer science Professor Leonard KleinRock's laboratory atUCLA, after the second piece of network equipment was installed at SRI. This connection not only enabled the first transmission to be made, but is also considered to be the first Internet backbone.

The first message to be distributed was "LO", which was an attempt at "LOGIN" by Charley S. Kline to log into the SRI computer from UCLA. However, the message was unable to be completed because the SRI system crashed. Shortly after the crash, the issue was resolved and he was able to log into the computer.

Ray Tomlinson introduces network e-mail in 1972. The first messaging system to send messages across a network to other users.

Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn design TCP during 1973 and later publish it with the help of Yogen Dalal and Carl Sunshine in December of 1974 in RFC 675.

A commercial version of ARPANET known as Telenet is introduced in 1974 and considered by many to be the first Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Bob Metcalfe develops Ethernet idea in 1973.

In 1978 TCP splits into TCP/IP driven by Danny Cohen, David Reed, and John Shoch to support real-time traffic. This allows the creation of UDP. TCP/IP is later standardized into ARPANET in 1983 and is still the primary protocol used for the Internet.

Paul Mockapetris and Jon Postel introduce DNS in 1984.

In 1990 Tim Berners-Lee develops HTML, which made a huge contribution to how we navigate and view the Internet today.

Tim Berners-Lee introduced WWW to the public on August 6, 1991.

Can you find internet history on a mac after its been deleted?

Yes, but for a casual PC user it is much to complicated. That is, if it has been properly removed. History is a temporary file, it is defaulted to be removed 20 days after you record it into the cache... To put it in English...

AnswerYes,the normal "delete" procedures only puts it where you cannot see it. It is still on your hard drive.

The only real way to remove all traces of everything on a hard-drive such that a computer forensic expert cannot retrieve it, is to make the hard drive "disappear".

Machines made life today easier or harder explain?

With machines life is more difficult for the mind, but easier on the body. We need to be able to use more complicated things, but we don't need to do much heavy lifting any more.

How do you stop your mail if you are going away on vacation?

File a form 8076 at your local post office. You can pick one up there or can find one on the Internet. Form 8076 asks for the address the mail is being held for, the beginning and ending dates for holding mail, and whether to deliver the mail after the end date or whether it will be picked up at the post office.

Why is internet sometimes better than a library for research?

Mostly because it is much easier and quicker to get hold of relevant information than a library, allowing you to compare different sources in only a few hours instead of days.

However, not all of what you can see on the internet is actually true.

What are some free genealogy sites without membership?

Yes, there are genealogy websites that provide information for free and I'll give you a few examples below. Also, check with your LDS Family History Center or public library. They may provide no-cost access to some subscription genealogy websites if you visit their facilities. www.familysearch.org www.rootsweb.com http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ The GenWeb sites (do a search for a county, state and "genweb") I suppose it depends on what you are researching and what you are trying to do. Are you just starting your research? It can make a difference if you are searching US 19th century, Ireland 18th century, American Indian, African American, and so on. At some point it may be beneficial if you were to subscribe to something like Ancestry.com ( http://ancestry.com/ ) -- they do have a free 14 day trial offer. You just have to weigh the cost of the subscription against the benefits of accessing certain databases online. Perhaps it's more economical, or efficient, right now than taking vacation and incurring the expenses of going to the US National Archives in Washington DC, or the LDS library in Salt Lake City, for example. There are free things available - for example searching the US Social Security Death Index ( http://www.cyndislist.com/socsec.htm ) or the Personal Ancestral File (PAF) is a free genealogy and family history program ( http://www.familysearch.org ); as well as the sites mentioned in the previous answer. There are also volunteer projects that might be helpful to you. There re several referenced on the RootsWeb home page. Assuming you are conducting some US research, you may already know that there are regional US National Archives with free access, perhaps one is close to where you live. Also some public libraries have free access to genealogical materials. Depending on where and when you are researching, there may be a wealth of information freely available.

Who is creator of world wide web?

Sir Tim Berners Lee invented World Wide Web He then set up first website 1991, made it available to all in 1993

How does the world wide web work?

You use a "browser" and related computer software to "connect" your computer to information sources connected to the web somewhere else, making copies of data files or streams that your computer can display, store, play, run, or whatever.

How long ago was the internet invented?

Glad you asked what year the Internet begin

The Internet has been used by the military over the last several decades. Even as far back as the 60s and 70s. The world wide web as we know it began in 1989 and Tim Berners Lee was the person responsible for the browsing we know.

Why computer is important in the modren world?

Computer is important now-a-days, because it saves labors.......We also can say that computer as a labour saving machine. At ancient time there was need of 5 peoples to work on a data but now-a-days just by 1 person it is possible, through a computer, thourgh a database.

How has the internet affected the world?

Globalization has affected the world by helping technology spread around the world. It has helped us keep better communication with other counties. I am only 11 and I can answer this question ( on a 6th grade level ) so if this helps you it is fantastic for me.

How did the Internet begin?

The Internet was created as a project in 1958 by the United States Government ARPA (The Advanced Research Projects Agency) to network computers in order to gain a technological, and potentially a military advantage over the Soviets in the middle of the cold war. It was then used to connect several universities together forming the ARPANET so that they could assist in military and or technological research. Later the "internet" was opened to the common user and the name ARPANET was dropped.

The World Wide Web was originated in the UK by Tim Berners Lee (while working at CERN), as a user friendly layer on top of the already existing internet. He developed software for the World Wide Web and it became available from 1991 The World Wide Web is not the same thing as the Internet. The "Web" as it is called is simply a software application that uses the internet infrastructure to send data between devices running that particular application software.

Did the US sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty?

South Korea is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) as a non-nuclear weapons state. Its safeguards agreement under the NPT came into force in 1975 and it has signed the Additional Protocol in relation to this.

What is the history of the world wide web?

Brief history of a single computer:

  1. built
  2. sold
  3. used
  4. trashed/scrapped

Brief history of computers in general is much too long to post here, if thats what you really wanted. Besides if I had enough information to write it I'd write a book, hoping to make money, not posting it here for free.

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.

Who was the first person to find out about ISP?

DARPA, but you connected through a special minicomputer they provided called an IMP. It wasn't called the internet then, it was ARPANET. It was not available to the public: only government and university sites.


AnswerSpike Ilacqua has claimed to have created the first public ISP.

Prof. Andrew Burt, of the University of Denver, was slightly earlier, creating Nyx (then nyx.cs.du.edu, now nyx.net) in January 1989.

yes, of course Spike llacqua was one of the first technical brain behind providing an ISP but PSINetwas one of the first company for providing an ISP. (Internet Service Provider).
Barry Shein started an ISP from the unix consulting company Tool & Die in 1989, it was for USENET News.

What is the largest and powerful computers that can carry out many different people at the same time?

Most general purpose computers support multiple users simultaneously. Pretty much anything that runs Linux, Windows, or Mac OS have this capability.

Can you still the history on your computer after you deleted on your web browser?

yes-- hit "start" then "programs" then "accessories" then "system tools" then "system restore" then click "next" & choose date you want it to restore back to so it will check history again. click "next again" & then "restart" so after that you can do "control/H" for history and it will be restored back to the date you chose to see the browsing history deleted.
