THE ORIGINS OF THE INTERNET AND ITS EVOLUTION.

• The origins of the internet can be traced back to the mid-20th

century, with various developments and milestones that
eventually led to its creation and evolution into the global
network we know today.

1. Early Concepts:
• 1960s: The concept of a decentralized computer
network was proposed by computer scientist J.C.R.
Licklider, who envisioned a "galactic network" where
computers could communicate and share information.
This laid the groundwork for the idea of interconnected
computers.

2. ARPANET and Packet Switching:

• 1969: The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was created by the
U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, now known as
DARPA). ARPANET's goal was to connect computers at various research institutions.
• Early 1970s: The concept of packet switching was developed, allowing data to be broken
down into small packets and sent across a network, which would then reassemble the
packets at the destination. This method ensured more efficient and reliable data
transmission.

3. TCP/IP Protocol
1970s: The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and
Internet Protocol (IP) were developed by Vinton Cerf and
Bob Kahn. TCP/IP became the standard communication
protocol for ARPANET and subsequent networks,
allowing different networks to interconnect and
communicate.
Presented by Francisco da Silva Gari,L.Ed, MM

What is the TCP IP protocol?

TCP/IP specifies how data is exchanged over the
internet by providing end-to-end communications
that identify how it should be broken into packets,
addressed, transmitted, routed, and received at
the destination.
Presented by Francisco da Silva Gari,L.Ed, MM

What is TCP IP and example?

TCP is used in conjunction with IP in order to maintain
a connection between the sender and the target and to
ensure packet order. For example, when an email is
sent over TCP, a connection is established and a 3-way
handshake is made.

4. Birth of the Internet

• 1983: ARPANET switched to using the TCP/IP
protocol, effectively marking the birth of the
modern internet. This transition allowed for the
interconnection of various networks, forming a
single, global network of networks.

5. COMMERCIALIZATION AND POPULARIZATION:

• Late 1980s to 1990s: The internet began to transition

from being primarily a tool for academic and research
purposes to a more commercial and popular platform.
ISPs (Internet Service Providers) emerged, providing
access to the Internet for individuals and businesses.

6. Dot-com Bubble:
• Late 1990s: The dot-com bubble saw a rapid rise in
internet-related companies and investments. While it
led to significant advancements and the establishment
of major internet companies, the bubble burst in the
early 2000s, resulting in the collapse of many internet
startups.

7. Broadband and Social Media:

2000s: The proliferation of broadband internet
connections facilitated faster data transmission, allowing
for the development of multimedia-rich websites, online
video streaming, and social media platforms.

8. Mobile Internet and Beyond

• 2000s to present: The rise of smartphones and mobile
devices led to the widespread adoption of mobile
internet. This allowed people to access the internet on
the go, leading to the development of mobile apps and
services.
Presented by Francisco da Silva Gari,L.Ed, MM

9.Internet of Things (IoT) and Future Trends:

• 2010s to present: The internet expanded beyond computers and mobile devices to
include a wide range of interconnected devices known as the Internet of Things (IoT).
This includes smart home devices, wearables, and more.
• The ongoing evolution of the internet involves trends like artificial intelligence, 5G
connectivity, increased focus on cybersecurity, and the exploration of technologies like
virtual reality and augmented reality.

The World Wide Web and its impact on information sharing

• The World Wide Web (WWW), often simply referred to as the web, is a system of
interconnected documents and resources that are linked together using hypertext links.
It was invented by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee in the late 1980s and early
1990s while he was working at CERN. The World Wide Web revolutionized the way we
share, access, and interact with information, leading to significant changes in various
aspects of society.
Presented by Francisco da Silva Gari,L.Ed, MM

KEY CONCEPTS OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB:

1. Hypertext: Hypertext allows for the creation of links between documents, enabling users to
navigate between different web pages with just a click. This structure of interconnectedness is
what makes the web so powerful and user-friendly.
2. Web Browser: The first web browser, called "WorldWideWeb," was developed by Tim
Berners-Lee. It allowed users to view and interact with web pages by following hypertext
links. Modern web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge have evolved to support
multimedia content, scripting languages, and a wide range of user interactions.
3. Web Server: Web servers are computers that store and serve web content to users who
request it through their web browsers. This content includes HTML documents, images,
videos, and other multimedia elements.

IMPACT ON INFORMATION SHARING

1. Global Access to Information: The World Wide Web democratized information access.
Previously, information was largely confined to printed materials and physical media.
With the web, anyone with an internet connection could access a vast array of
information, breaking down geographical and socio-economic barriers.
2. Information Dissemination: The web facilitated rapid dissemination of information.
News, research findings, educational materials, and various forms of content could be
published and shared almost instantly to a global audience.

3. E-Commerce and Online Services: The web transformed commerce and business operations.
E-commerce platforms allowed businesses to reach customers globally, while online services like
banking, booking travel, and shopping became integral parts of daily life.
4. Education and Learning: The web revolutionized education by making educational resources
and courses accessible to a wide audience. Online learning platforms, video lectures, and
tutorials made education more flexible and accessible.
5. Social Interaction and Communication: Social media platforms emerged as key players in
online communication. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram enabled people to
connect, share experiences, and engage with each other on a global scale.

6. Cultural Exchange and Expression: The web provided a platform for diverse cultural
expression. Blogs, videos, and social media allowed individuals to share their thoughts,
opinions, art, and cultural practices, fostering cross-cultural understanding.
7. Research and Collaboration: The web accelerated research and collaboration.
Researchers could share findings, collaborate on projects, and access vast repositories of
scientific literature and data.
8. Entertainment and Media Consumption: The web transformed entertainment and
media consumption through streaming services for music, movies, TV shows, and online
gaming.

1. ARPANET and First Email:

• 1971: Ray Tomlinson is often credited with sending the
first email between two machines using the "@"
symbol to separate the user's name from the host
computer's name. This laid the foundation for email
addressing conventions.
