The Invention of the

Internet: Connecting
the World

Prepared by Solomiia Sushko


The Internet started in the 1960s as a project by
the United States Department of Defense. They
wanted a way for computers to communicate
even if some were damaged during a war. In 1969,
the first connection was made between two
computers at UCLA and Stanford University. This
connection was the beginning of the Internet.
In the 1970s, engineers
developed a set of rules
called TCP/IP. It helped
computers understand
and share information
with each other, which
made the Internet work
better.
Domain Name System (DNS):
In 1983, the DNS was created.
It made it easier for people to
visit websites by using names
instead of numbers. For
example, instead of typing an
IP address like 192.168.0.1, we
can type www.example.com.
World Wide Web: In 1990, a
scientist named Sir Tim Berners-
Lee made the World Wide Web. It
allowed people to create and share
web pages. This made it easier for
everyone to find and access
information.
Global Expansion: In the
1990s, the Internet
became available to more
people. Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) started
offering connections to
homes, and the Internet
quickly spread
worldwide.
Impact on Society:
Communication and
Connectivity: The Internet
changed the way we
communicate. We can now
send emails, chat with friends,
and make video calls. It helps us
stay connected with people
from all over the world.
Information Access: The
Internet made it easier to
find information. We can
search for any topic and
get answers quickly. It also
provides access to online
libraries, news, and
educational resources.
E-commerce and Online Services:
The Internet opened up
opportunities for online shopping
and services. We can buy things
from different countries and get
them delivered to our doorstep.
We can also use online banking,
streaming services, and food
delivery apps.
Education and Work: Online
learning became popular, and
we can now take courses
and study from home. The
Internet also allows people to
work remotely, which means
they can work from
anywhere with an Internet
connection.
Cultural Impact: The Internet
has brought people from
different cultures together.
We can learn about different
traditions, watch movies
from around the world, and
share our own culture with
others.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Internet has transformed
the world in amazing ways. It all started as
a way for computers to communicate, but it
has grown into something much bigger.
Today, we can't imagine our lives without
the Internet. It connects us, provides
information, and offers countless
opportunities. The Internet truly changed the
way we live, work, and interact with the
world.
