The History of the Internet
• Where did the
Internet originate?
From an Idea of course!
• In 1962 the first “Internet” is conceived.
Under the leadership of the Department of
Defense’s Advanced Research Project
Agency, a small network is created called
ARPANET
• ARPANET was originally created for the
Department of Defense and the military to
allow control over its missiles and
bombers from various locations after a
nuclear attack.
• In 1969 ARPANET connects the first 4
Universities. Standford Research Institute,
UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, and the
University of Utah created the first hosts
of ARPANET.
• One of the most important developments
occurred in 1972. The first E-mail
program was created by Ray Tomlinson.
1974-1981
• The general public gets the first hint of
how networked computers can be used in
daily life as the commercial version of
ARPANET goes on Online.
• 1979- USENET users groups are created.
• ARPANET starts its descend from its
military and research roots.
• In 1981 ARPANET had expanded to 213
hosts
1982-1987
• Bob Karn, Vint Cerf, and other team
members create TCP/IP, the common
language of the Internet. TCP/IP stands
for Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet
Protocol.
• 1982- THE TERM “INTERNET” IS USED
FOR THE FIRST TIME!
• For the first time the loose collection of
networks originally seen as ARPANET is
viewed as the Internet.
• 1988- The “Internet Worm” is unleashed.
The worm temporarily disabled 6,000 of
the 60,000 internet hosts.
• The worm incident raises important
concerns about privacy and security in the
Internet world.
• 1990- The number of Internet hosts
exceed 300,000
• In 1991, The World Wide Web is born.
• 1992- One millions hosts have multi-media
access to the Internet.
• 1993- Mosaic, the first graphics-based
web browser is available.
• 1994- The first concert is broadcasted online via the Internet by the Rolling Stones.
Also Pizza Hut accepts on-line pizza orders
for the first time.
The Late 90’s
• 1995- Sun Microsystems release an
Internet Programming language called
Java. Java, today, is the most widely used
programming language.
• In 1996, the number of computer hosts
approaches 10 million.
• As of 1997, the Internet is an increasingly
important part of life all over the world
and continues to be today.
The Future
• As for the future, the
Internet world will
continue to improve
and expand each day,
for no one is certain
of its capabilities.
