Internet and it’s short history

The internet is by far the most popular source of information and the first choice for those interested in learning the latest news, surpassing media with a much longer history: television, newspapers and radio, it is also seen as the most reliable source.

The history of the Internet begins with the early development of computers and communications networks (1950 and 1960) and can be divided into several stages. The idea of a computer network designed to allow general communication between users on different computers was dependent on technological and fusion developments in the existing telecommunications systems and networks.

 The Internet is the result of the work of dozens of researchers, programmers and engineers who developed different technologies that brought together formed what is called „Information superhighway”. The story of the internet begins long before the technology that created it has emerged. One of the first people to juggle with the idea of a „wireless world” was Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s. However, the first internet practice scheme emerged only in the early 1960s when J.C.R. Licklider from MIT has popularized the idea of an „intergalactic network”. Soon, researchers have created the concept of „packet switching” an electronic data transmission method that will later become one of the cornerstones of the Internet.

The first functional prototype of the Internet emerged in the late 1960s with the emergence of ARPANET. AARPANET used conceptually „packet switching” to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network

The online world took shape known today in 1990 when Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Although it is often confused with the Internet itself, the World Wide Web is just the most common way of accessing online data in the form of websites or hyperlinks. WWW helped popularize the internet among the public and was a huge step in developing the huge amount of information the public can access day by day.
