A Brief History Of The Internet 5 Pages 1186 Words

By default, since the Internet exists (in some way) for less than 30 years, the accurate history of the Internet needs to be shortened.

The first iteration of the Internet began in 1971 and was publicly exhibited at the beginning of 1972. This first network, called Advanced Research Projects Agency NETwork, is a very primitive form according to today's standards, but a breakthrough in computer communications.

ARPANET is based on the design concept of Larry Roberts (MIT) and was reinforced with the first ACM symposium held in Gaithersburg, Tennessee in 1966, but RFP was not sent until mid 1968.

The US Department of Defense ordered ARPANET in 1969. The first node is created at the University of California Los Angeles and runs on the Honeywell DDP-516 microcomputer. The second node was founded at Stanford University and was first launched in October of the same year. The third node is at the University of California at Santa Barbara (November 1, 1969), and the fourth node is held at the University of Utah in December.

By 1971, 15 nodes including BBN, CMU, CWRU, Harvard, Lincoln Lab, MIT, NASA / Ames, Land, SDC, SRI, and UIU were connected (C). In the same year, Larry Roberts created the first e-mail management program. As a supplement, Ray Tomlinson is a person who created the "@" flag as a domain / host indicator from Model 33 teletype.

The first international correspondence with ARPANET was established in college connection at the University of London in 1973 and RFC - 454 "File Transfer Protocol" was released.

In 1973, Dr. Robert Metcalf's doctoral thesis also outlined the Ethernet specification. This theory was tested on the Xerox PARC computer.

UUCP (Unix-to-Unix Replication Protocol) was developed in AT & T Bell Labs in 1976 and was released with the following year with UNIX.

The Internet is a public resource. Anyone can use it. All you need is technology leveraging shared open protocol. These agreements are a way to "join" or "enter" public places. In its short history, the Internet is not owned but shared. Like a dream, the public resources of the Internet make the interaction easy and unlimited. In "grass" people can use the Internet for free and use the Internet for free using the company's platform. At your feet, the transition seems to be more fertile, more delicate part of a meadow full of rich grass and vibrant flowers. This is an illusion. It is free, but you need to request a name tag to access it. The label is a sophisticated and cleverly hidden monitoring device. We sometimes see the impact of it: when talking to other people about going to the spa, speak to someone who recommends a spa!

One of the most interesting aspects of the Internet in 1993 was its governance mechanism. You can read about Internet preferences by reading the brief history of the Internet written twenty years ago. Pay special attention to the role of the Request for Comments (RFC) and Internet Engineering Task Force Working Group that I call the IETF. I do not think block chains are the answer, even though there were some features of the Internet in the 1990s. Given the way we have seen and the way the Internet evolves, I am not confident of the elegant expansion of the block chain. Even if a block chain could overcome the problem of expansion, I think that the lesson of the past 25 years is that culture promotes technology rather than promoting culture.
