1. Four network nodes were established between August 1969 and December 1969 by AT&T to provide connections for research institutions with 50kbps lines. 2. The first message sent over the network crashed the system at SRI when the letter G was typed during login, on October 29, 1969. 3. The Internet originated from the ARPANET, a computer network developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the 1960s to enable communication between researchers in case of war or disaster.
How the Internet Started
- 1. 1 st Network Nodes are established at 4 locations, AT&T provides 50kbps lines Node 1: UCLA, August 30, 1969 Node 2: Stanford Research Institute, October 1, 1969 Doug Engelbart's project on "Augmentation of Human Intellect"
- 2. Continued… Node 3: University of California Santa Barbara, November 1, 1969 Node 4: Univ. Utah , December 1, 1969 First packets sent by Charley Kline at UCLA as he tried logging into SRI. The first attempt resulted in the system crashing as the letter G of LOGIN was entered, October 29, 1969
- 3. The Beginning… The Internet has had a relatively brief, but explosive history. It grew out of an experiment begun in the 1960's by the U.S. Department of Defense. The DoD wanted to create a computer network that would continue to function in the event of a disaster, such as a nuclear war. If part of the network was damaged or destroyed, the rest of the system still had to work. That network was ARPANET , which linked U.S. scientific and academic researchers. It was the forerunner of today's Internet.
- 4. World Wide Web A system of Internet servers that support formatted text in HTML. Documents link to each other using hyperlinks. The Web supports various types of graphics, audio, and video files. There are several applications called Web browsers that make it easy to access the information on the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee created the world wide web and http standard on a NeXT Cube computer, 1991 .
- 5. Internet Infrastructure The Internet relies a backbone of computers and routers to talk to each other. What is incredible is that a message can leave one computer and travel halfway across the world through several different networks and arrive at another computer in seconds! The routers determine where to send information along the way. Routers are specialized computers that send data packets over the Internet using a variety of pathways.
- 6. How it Works… Every computer that is connected to the Internet is part of a network, even the one in your home. When you connect to your ISP, you become part of their network. The ISP may then connect to a larger network and become part of their network. The Internet is simply a network of networks.
