The story of the development of the Internet begins with the endIn the 1950s, when the second generation of computers was already operating in the world. Foreign international relations of the leading world powers of the USSR and the United States pushed for new research necessary to protect and transmit information in a reliable way.
The US Department of Defense initiated the firstdevelopment of computer networks, from which began the history of the Internet. Scientists from four famous universities of America took an active part in them. Their computers were connected in 1969 by ARPANET - the first computer network.
ARPANET began to be used quickly not onlymilitary, but also specialists in various fields of science. The first server appeared in the University of California (Los Angeles), the computer had a RAM of 24 KB. The first communication session took place in October 1969 with the Stanford Research Institute, which was conducted by Charlie Kline and Bill Duvall.
In 1971, the opportunity to sendemail, as a special program was developed. In the future, the history of email development was driven by the desire of users to expand the horizons of communication.
A year later, ARPANET became international, connecting the UK and Norway via telephone cable. In the seventies, the first computer network was used mainly for sending mail.
In 1983, the term Internet was established for ARPANET, and the following year the domain name system appears.
The history of the Internet continued to createother networks that are built on data transfer protocols. A special role was played in this process by John Postel, who developed and standardized several network protocols: IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, Telnet, FTP, DNS.
In 1984, the NSFNet inter-university network appeared, including other small networks, to which about ten thousand computers were connected during the year.
1988 was the year of the development of chat, a protocol that allowed real-time communication.
In the late eighties, the history ofThe Internet has regained new names. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist who developed the HTTP protocol, the HTML language, URI identifiers, proposed the concept of the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989.
In 1990, the first computer network left the arena of the Internet, and by 1995, the World Wide Web had become the main provider of information on the Internet.
Currently, the world is not conceived without the Internet. Search for useful information, shopping, business, entertainment - it is difficult to list all the possibilities of the global network.
Email creation historyinteresting than the history of the Internet. Back in 1965, Tom Van Vlek and Noel Morris developed the first MAIL program. In the future, other scientists made efforts to create a modern look and functionality of e-mail:
- Ray Tomlinson - special mail programs and the introduction of the @ symbol, which linked the user name to the domain name in the address bar.
- Larry Roberts - a program for creating and sorting lists of letters.
- Steve Walker - the first mailing
- John Vittal - a postal program that provided the ability to compile a response to the received message, forward letters and sort the correspondence.
A significant event was the year 1976, when the Queen Elizabeth II for the first time took advantage of e-mail.
For three decades, email has acquiredhuge popularity. Today, it occupies a leading position in relation to other methods of transmitting information on the Internet. The software allows you to connect to anywhere in the world from any computer, send not only a text message, but also other file types. Notions such as “emoticons”, “spam” and “viruses” came to the e-mail.
