History of Internet

The history of the internet began in the late 1960s with ARPANET, which introduced packet-switching for communication among research institutions. The 1980s saw the expansion of networks through TCP/IP protocols and the establishment of DNS, while the 1990s brought the commercial boom with the World Wide Web and user-friendly web browsers. Today, the internet is a vital global infrastructure that continues to evolve, impacting various aspects of life and emphasizing the need for open and secure access.

History of Internet

The history of the internet traces back to the late 1960s with the development of ARPANET,
a project funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. Initially designed to enable
communication between research institutions, ARPANET introduced the concept of packet-
switching, which remains fundamental to internet architecture today.

In the 1980s, the network expanded beyond government and academic institutions. The
development of TCP/IP protocols allowed diverse networks to connect, forming the basis of
the modern internet. The creation of domain name systems (DNS) in 1984 further
simplified online navigation.

The 1990s marked the internet’s commercial boom with the invention of the World Wide
Web by Tim Berners-Lee. Web browsers like Netscape made it easier for users to access
websites, and businesses quickly recognized the internet's potential for marketing,
commerce, and communication.

In the 2000s and beyond, the rise of social media, mobile internet, and cloud computing
reshaped digital life. Today, the internet is an essential global infrastructure, connecting
billions of people and devices.

The internet's evolution continues, influencing how we learn, work, and interact.
Understanding its history provides insight into its potential and the importance of ensuring
open, secure, and inclusive access for everyone.
