The document provides a history of the internet from 1957 to 1990, covering several key events and innovations:
1) In 1957, computers could only perform one task at a time and programmers had an indirect connection, leading to bugs. A remote connection was then installed.
2) In October 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, frightening the US and leading to the creation of DARPA to secure US technology leadership.
3) DARPA developed ARPANET in 1966 to share information between universities, eliminating manual processing. This laid the foundation for the modern internet.
2. History of the Internet Objectives at the end of this module student should be able to: 1. Recall the history of the internet; 2. Discuss how internet was utilized in the past and in the future; 3. Define some internet terms.
3. History of the Internet In 1957 ( 1 ) Computers only work on one task at a time. It is the most ineffective processing of data. There is an indirect connection between the programmer and the computer which encountered bugs.
4. History of the Internet In 1957 ( 2 ) A remote connection was installed enable for the programmer work directly.
5. History of the Internet In 1957 ( 3 ) It allows to share the power of a single computer to multiple users.
6. History of the Internet In October 4, 1957 ( 4 ) During the cold war, an unmanned satellite was sent by the Soviet Union, the Sputnik 1, the fear of the missile got emerged what happened next …
7. History of the Internet In February 1958 DARPA – Defense Advanced Research Project Agency it is used to secure the leading technology of the US.
8. History of the Internet DARPA information was manually transferred by human a plan was developed to eliminate the manual processing
9. History of the Internet DARPA a large scale computer was developed
10. History of the Internet DARPA to accelerate knowledge transfer to avoid the doubling up of existing research information
13. History of the Internet Contributions of the 4 Foundations
14. History of the Internet In 1966, ARPANET was developed It was then utilized by the Universities to share information the Mainframe was introduced
15. History of the Internet Mainframe uses an Interface Messaging Processor (IMP) IMP is the global control of the activity while the mainframe is only the initialization of the programs and data files It is also the interface for the mainframe
18. History of the Internet It is a protocol that runs a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Is the communication language or protocol of the internet
19. History of the Internet NPL was designed for commercial purposes frequent file transfers are expected and to avoid congestion packet switching was developed.
20. History of the Internet Packet Switching – divides the messages into packets before they are sent to the receiver. Each packet are transmitted individually.
21. History of the Internet In 1962 a middle and long range of missiles was discovered by the Americans in CUBA which were able to reach the United States (US) US has its own centralized network to be used in their communication.
22. History of the Internet Decentralized network was developed so that in case a node (connection) was bombed communication is still connected.
