Creation of ARPANET (1)
1957 – USSR launched Sputnik I
United States were shocked
Advanced Research Projects Agency
Thechnological think-tank
Space, ballistic missiles and nuclear test monitoring
Communication between operational base and subcontracters
Creation of ARPANET (2)
1962 – computer research program
Leaded by John Licklider (MIT)
Leonard Kleinrock published his first paper on
packet-switching theory
1965 – first “wide area network” created
Connection between Berkeley and MIT
Creation of ARPANET (3)
1967 – plans for ARPANET were published
MIT – NPL (UK) – RAND
1969 – Interface Message Processor (IMP)
4 computers (UCLA, SRI, UCSB and UTAH)
1971 – 23 host computers (15 nodes)
From ARPANET to Internet (1)
1972 – ARPANET went ‘public’
ICCC
First program for person-to-person communication
(e-mail)
1973
75% of all ARPANET traffic is e-mail
First international connection (University College of London)
From ARPANET to Internet (2)
1974 – TCP/IP
Each network should work on its own
Within each network there would be a ‘gateway’
Packages would be routed through the fastest available route
Large mainframe computers
Several years of modification and redesign
From ARPANET to Internet (3)
1974/1982 – Networks launched
Telenet – first commercial version of ARPANET
MFENet – researchers into Magnetic Fusion Energy
HEPNet – researchers into High Energy Physics
SPAN – space physicists
Usenet – open system focusing on e-mail and newsgroups
Bitnet – university scientists using IBM computers
CSNet – Computer Scientists in universities, industry and government
Eunet – European version of the Unix network
EARN – European version of Bitnet
From ARPANET to Internet (4)
1974/1982
Very chaotic
Different competing techniques and protocols
ARPANET is still the backbone
1982 – The internet is born using the TCP/IP standard
From Internet to WWW (1)
System expands
Advances in computer capacities and speeds
Introduction of glass-fibre cables
Problems created by its own success
More computers are linked (1984 – 1000 hosts)
Large volume of traffic (success of e-mail)
1984 – Introduction DNS
From Internet to WWW (2)
Use of internet throughout the higher educational system
British government – Joint Academic Network
US National Science Foundation – NSFNet
NSFNet
Use of TCP/IP
Federal Agencies share cost of infrastructures
NSFNet shared infrastructure
Support behind the ‘Internet Activities Board’
NSFNet provided the ‘backbone’
From Internet to WWW (3)
NSFNet
broke the capacity bottleneck
encouraged a surge in Internet use
1984 – 1,000 hosts
1986 – 5,000 hosts
1987 – 28,000 hosts
1989 – 100,000 hosts
1990 – 300,000 hosts
encouraged the development of private Internet providers
Commercial users
From Internet to WWW (4)
1990 – ARPANET was wound up
1990 – first search-engine (Archie)
1991 – NSF removed restrictions on private access
“Information superhighway” project
The World Wide Web (1)
1989 – WWW concept
by Tim Berners-Lee
1990 – first browser/editor program
The World Wide Web (2)
National Center for SuperComputing Applications launched Mosaic X
Commercial websites began their proliferation
Followed by local shool/club/family sites
The web exploded
1994 – 3,2 million hosts and 3,000 websites
1995 – 6,4 million hosts and 25,000 websites
1997 – 19,5 million hosts and 1,2 million websites
January 2001 – 110 million hosts and 30 million websites
The World Wide Web (4)
Some facts
1994 – Hotmail starts web based email
1994 – World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded
1995 – JAVA source code was released
1996 – Mirabilis (Israel) starts ICQ
1998 – Google is founded
