Brief history of evolution of

internet and new media.


The evolution of the internet and new media is a fascinating journey that has
transformed the way we communicate, access information, and interact with the world.
Here's a brief history of key milestones:

1. 1960s - The Birth of ARPANET:

The precursor to the internet was ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects


Agency Network), created by the U.S. Department of Defense. It was
established in 1969 and aimed to connect computers at research institutions.

2. 1970s - TCP/IP Protocol:

The development of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol


(IP) by Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn in the 1970s laid the foundation for the
modern internet. This protocol suite became the standard for how data is
transmitted over networks.

3. 1980s - Domain Name System (DNS) and World Wide Web:

The DNS was introduced in 1983, simplifying the process of navigating the
internet by translating domain names into IP addresses. In 1989, Tim Berners-
Lee proposed the World Wide Web (WWW), creating the first website in 1991.

4. 1990s - Commercialization and Dot-Com Boom:

The 1990s saw the commercialization of the internet and the emergence of the
World Wide Web for public use. The dot-com boom led to rapid growth in
internet-based businesses, but it eventually led to the dot-com bust in the early
2000s.

5. Late 1990s - Broadband and Social Media:

The late 1990s brought the widespread adoption of broadband internet,


enabling faster and more reliable connections. In the same period, social media
platforms like Six Degrees and Friendster emerged, setting the stage for the
social media revolution.

6. 2000s - Web 2.0 and User-Generated Content:

Web 2.0, a term coined around 2004, emphasized user-generated content and
interactive web experiences. Platforms like Wikipedia, YouTube, and blogs
became popular, marking a shift from static websites to dynamic and
collaborative online environments.

7. 2010s - Rise of Mobile Internet and Streaming Services:

The 2010s witnessed the proliferation of smartphones, making the internet


accessible on mobile devices. Streaming services like Netflix, Spotify, and the
widespread use of social media platforms became integral parts of people's
lives.

8. 2020s - Continued Innovation and Challenges:

The 2020s have seen further advancements in technology, including the


development of 5G networks, increased use of artificial intelligence, and the
integration of the internet of things (IoT). However, challenges such as
cybersecurity threats and concerns about privacy have also become more
prominent.

Throughout this evolution, the internet has become an essential part of daily life,
influencing how we communicate, work, learn, and entertain ourselves. New media,
encompassing digital forms of communication and entertainment, continues to evolve
with technological advancements and societal changes.
