INTERNET:IntroductionThe invention of the 1960s revolutionized the world of computers and communications. It is a large network of networks typically interconnected by a wide range of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies that has no geographic constraints. Unlike technologies like the telephone or the light bulb, the Internet does not have a single “inventor”. Credit must be given to dozens of pioneering scientists, programmers, and engineers who have overcome the obstacles of complex software and hardware design over time. The result is a miraculous means of communication, often called the “information superhighway.” The history of the Internet can therefore be defined as the “evolution” of the Internet rather than the “invention” of the Internet. Who invented the Internet? When was it invented? It is often believed that the initial idea for the Internet was Leonard Kleinrock's. His paper publication titled "Information Flow In Large Communication Nets" dated May 31, 1961, talked about the possibility of a system called the Internet. JCR Licklider and Robert Taylor also had influential ideas about the creation of the Internet. In the summer of 1968, the Network Working Group (NWG) had its first meeting with the Stanford Resource Institute (SRI) and this meeting was led by Elmer Shapiro and resolved problems related to host communications. Licklider became the director of the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) and this government agency are responsible for creating a time-sharing computer network known as ARPANET, which is the predecessor of today's Internet. Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn invented the TCP/IP protocol in the 1970s and in In 1972 Ray introduces the idea of ​​networking... middle of paper... broadcast television is not, the Internet proves to be the savior. The Internet is a cost-effective alternative to almost all major software available in the market, the software CDs may be a little expensive, and many of these software can be downloaded for free from the Internet. Therefore, for employees and people of all types of businesses, the Internet is often seen as a time- and cost-efficient measure to update their management system. The Internet has succeeded in reducing the gap between rich and poor, literate and illiterate, male and female. The closeness that common people of all nations share can be attributed to the Internet. Today, an Indian man can be seen playing online with someone from Argentina. So the day when we will perceive the world as one is not very far away and the Internet is the only reason for such an important step.
