The Creation of the Internet
ReplyDeleteMany people believe that the internet was created in the Pentagon through a program called Arpanet, that was designed to survive a nuclear attack. This belief would be incorrect. Bob Taylor, the man at the head of the Arpanet project confirms this in saying, " The creation of the ARPAnet was not motivated by considerations of war. The ARPAnet was not an internet. An internet is a connection between two or more computer networks." It can be agreed that there are many people responsible for the creation of the internet and we now know that the company IBM is somewhat responsible for creating the internet, and putting it in homes. Next comes email. Email, like the internet wasn't necessarily created, but evolved from simple beginnings. Before the internet, email could only be used to send messages to people on the same computer. Once the internet was created, you were able to send messages to other computers. Email is now something that is going out of date because of facebook as well as texting.
So who really did create the internet? Well that question remains unanswered. There is still question as to who really did create the internet. However, it is agreed that the internet was created in 1969 at the Pentagon, and it was designed to survive a nuclear attack.
ReplyDeleteI bet you're wondering how e-mail was invented. Well it never really was invented, it evolved from very simple beginnings. The first system of e-mail was called MAILBOX which was used at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1965. MAILBOX was not the only system, there was another system of e-mail which was also used, this was called SNDMSG. Before internetworking began, e-mails could only be sent to the same computer. It was almost like leaving a "note" on someone's desk. Nowadays, despite what the internet has to offer, e-mail remains the most important application of the internet and it is the most widely used facility; with over 600 million people internationally using it. Whether you have Hotmail, AOL, or G-Mail your e-mail can be sent anywhere to anyone in the world wide web and it is very simple to use.
It is agreed that the internet was started in 1969, but by who and where comes many different theories. It is thought that it was created in the pentagon, but that was proven to be false by Bob Taylor, the man thought to have create the internet. He claimed he had not because the program he created could not connect with other computers.
ReplyDeleteIf Ian Peter hadn't been so creative and innovative, a lot of countries wouldn't have internet today.
ReplyDeleteIf Ian Peters hadn't been so creative and innovative no one would know about the history of the internet. His motivation to research how the internet as well as e-mail, early PC networks, the dotcom bubble and how internet began being used globally.

I think its really interesting that we don't really know when the internet was invented and who it was invented why. Its creation was probably heavily influenced by the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, or Arpanet program. The purpose of this program, started in 1969, was scientific, and it failed in its initial purpose. However, it did end up creating the Internet protocols in 1970. Robert Metcalfe, who was responsible for the development of Ethernet, made a version of the packet switching and Internet protocols which were being developed for Arpanet available to cabled networks. With these developments in place, tools were readily available to connect both old and new style computers, via wireless, cable, and telephone networks. By the mid 1980's, everything that was needed for an explosion of internetworking was in place. So, even though Arpanet was not the beginnings of the Internet, it was important to its creation. Ian Peters is working to clear up the discrepancies in the creation of the Internet in his History of the Internet. He noticed that much of what has happened during the development of the Internet is undocumented and felt the need to do something about it. If he had not been so creative and innovative, then finding out about the history of the internet would still be difficult and inaccurate.
