The emergence of Internet History

At first the Internet is a computer network established by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1969, through a project called ARPANET ARPA (Advanced Research Project Agency Network), where they demonstrated how the computer hardware and software based on UNIX, we can make communication within an infinite distance telephone lines.
ARPANET project designing a network, reliability, how much information can be transferred, and eventually all of the standards that they set into the embryo development of a new protocol which is now known as TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol).
The initial purpose of the project was built for military purposes. At that time the Department of Defense of the United States (U.S. Department of Defense) create a system of computer networks to connect computers scattered in areas vital to tackle the problem in case of nuclear attack and to avoid centralized information, which in the event of war can easily be destroyed.
At first ARPANET only 3 sites linking it the Stanford Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, University of Utah, where they form an integrated network in 1969, and in general the ARPANET was introduced in October 1972. Not long after the project is growing rapidly in all regions, and all universities in the country wants to join, thus making it difficult to set the ARPANET.
Therefore ARPANET split widened two, namely "MILNET" for military purposes and the "ARPANET" new smaller for non-military purposes, such as universities. Combined both networks eventually known as the DARPA Internet, which then reduces to the Internet.

List of important events

1957 Soviet Union (now Russia) launched space vehicle, Sputnik.

1958 In the aftermath of the "defeat" in the United States space launch vehicles, established an agency within the U.S. Department of Defense, Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), which seeks to enable the United States to improve the science and technology of the country. One aim is to computer technology.

1962 J.C.R. Licklider wrote an article about a vision in which computers can be connected to one another globally so that each computer is able to offer access to programs and data. In this year also the RAND Corporation began research on this idea (a distributed computer network), which is intended for military purposes.

Early 1960s the theory of packet-switching can be implemented in the real world. The mid-1960s ARPA developed the ARPANET to promote "Cooperative Networking of Time-sharing Computers", with only four host computers can be connected up to the year 1969, the Stanford Research Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, Santa Barbara , and the University of Utah.

1965 The term "Hypertext" issued by Ted Nelson.

1968 Network Tymnet made.

1971 Members of the ARPANET grew to 23 pcs computer node, which consists of computers belonging to U.S. government research and university.

1972 A working group called the International Network Working Group (INWG) are made to improve computer network technology and also developed standards for computer networks, including the Internet. The first speaker of this organization is Vint Cerf, known as the "Father of the Internet"

1972-1974 Several commercial database services such as Dialog, SDC Orbit, Lexis, The New York Times DataBank, and others, register itself to the ARPANET through a dial-up network.

1973 ARPANET outside the United States: This year, members of the ARPANET grew further with the entry of several universities outside of the United States of the University College of London from the UK and the Royal Radar Establishment in Norway.

1974 Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn publish detailed specifications of protocols Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in the article "A Protocol for Packet Network Interconnection".

1974 Bolt, Beranet & Newman (BBN), pontraktor for ARPANET, opened a commercial version of ARPANET which they refer to as Telenet, which is the first public packet data service.

Already in 1977 there were 111 pieces of computers connected to ARPANET.

1978 Protocol TCP split into two parts, namely the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP / IP).

1979 The first Usenet discussion group created by Tom Truscott, Jim Ellis, and Steve Bellovin, a graduate of Duke University and the University of North Carolina United States. After that, the use of Usenet has increased drastically.
In this year also, emoticon proposed by Kevin McKenzie.

Early 1980s, personal computers (PCs) endemic, and was part of many human lives.
This year recorded the ARPANET has a membership of up to 213 hosts connected.
Services BITNET (Because It's Time Network) started, by providing e-mail, mailing lists, and File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
CSNET (Computer Science Network) was established this year by scientists and experts in the field of computer science from Purdue University, University of Washington, RAND Corporation, and BBN, with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF). These networks provide e-mail and several other services to scientists without having to access the ARPANET.

1982 The term "Internet" was first used, and TCP / IP was adopted as the universal protocol for the network.
Name servers began to be developed, allowing users to connect to a host without having to know the path toward definitive host.
This year there were more than 1000 pieces belonging to an Internet host.

Introduced in 1986 the domain name system, which is now known as DNS (Domain Name System) that serves to uniform naming system on the network address of the computer.
