and now,
The History of the Internet.
In
response to a need for secure computer
to computer communications, DARPA,
the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Administration, commissioned a study
in computer to computer technologies
back in the early 1970's. From this
beginning the Internet was born. During
the next 20 years the Internet was
used solely as a combination of military
and academic network, linking computers
first nationwide, then ultimately
world wide.
The idea behind the Internet is really
very simple. Two computers are connected
via a single wire. In order for one
computer to talk to the other, it
sends a signal requesting permission
to speak. If the other computer is
busy, it replies with the equivalent
of a "Please wait, I am busy"
otherwise it replies, granting permission.
Since both computers know what the
other one is talking about, by virtue
of the fact they are running similar
software, the data can be passed from
computer to computer.
In the previous example this is very
straight forward and trivial. Now
however, instead of a single wire,
we replace the connection with the
Internet, which can be many dozens
of computers between the two computers
wishing to talk.
Now the situation appears to be more
complex, or is it? Computer A and
Computer B wish to talk to each other,
but there is nearly 3000 miles between
them. Using the Internet, the number
of places through which the data has
to travel is really transparent to
the user.
In
effect, the link between Computer
A and Computer B can take many paths.
It can travel hundreds or even thousands
of miles out of the way in order to
reach the other computer. All you
need to know is that it will get there.
As
the 1980's progressed the face of
computing changed significantly, and
with it, the Internet. More and more
commercial and personal computers
were going on-line, until, they exceeded
the number of the original users.
The
1990's signaled the start of the "connected"
era, with the end of the cold war,
and improvements in military communications,
the original Military users of the
Internet left for other communications
systems. The Internet was left much
as it is today, a collection of internationally
based users and computers.
With
improvements on the desktop, there
arose a need for better graphics on
the Internet. The Internet up to this
point, had been largely a text only
system.
The
graphics capabilities implemented
were called HTML, and a means was
invented to allow users to view these
HTML files in their graphic format.
With the Internet largely in place,
all that was needed was to invent
the transmission mechanism. That mechanism
was dubbed the World Wide Web, or
Web for short.
