Creation
Main article: ARPANET
The USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as ARPA, in February 1958 to regain a technological lead.[1][2] ARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution.
Licklider moved from the Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory at Harvard University to MIT in 1950, after becoming interested in information technology. At MIT, he served on a committee that established Lincoln Laboratory and worked on the SAGE project. In 1957 he became a Vice President at BBN, where he bought the first production PDP-1 computer and conducted the first public demonstration of time-sharing.
At the IPTO, Licklider recruited Lawrence Roberts to head a project to implement a network, and Roberts based the technology on the work of Paul Baran,[citation needed] who had written an exhaustive study for the U.S. Air Force that recommended packet switching (as opposed to circuit switching) to make a network highly robust and survivable. After much work, the first two nodes of what would become the ARPANET were interconnected between UCLA and SRI International in Menlo Park, California, on October 29, 1969. The ARPANET was one of the "eve" networks of today's Internet. Following on from the demonstration that packet switching worked on the ARPANET, the British Post Office, Telenet, DATAPAC and TRANSPAC collaborated to create the first international packet-switched network service. In the UK, this was referred to as the International Packet Stream Service (IPSS), in 1978. The collection of X.25-based networks grew from Europe and the US to cover Canada, Hong Kong and Australia by 1981. The X.25 packet switching standard was developed in the CCITT (now called ITU-T) around 1976. X.25 was independent of the TCP/IP protocols that arose from the experimental work of DARPA on the ARPANET, Packet Radio Net and Packet Satellite Net during the same time period. Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn developed the first description of the TCP protocols during 1973 and published a paper on the subject in May 1974. Use of the term "Internet" to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated in December 1974 with the publication of RFC 675, the first full specification of TCP that was written by Vinton Cerf, Yogen Dalal and Carl Sunshine, then at Stanford University. During the next nine years, work proceeded to refine the protocols and to implement them on a wide range of operating systems.
The first TCP/IP-wide area network was made operational by January 1, 1983 when all hosts on the ARPANET were switched over from the older NCP protocols to TCP/IP. In 1985, the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) commissioned the construction of a university 56 kilobit/second network backbone using computers called "fuzzballs" by their inventor, David L. Mills. The following year, NSF sponsored the development of a higher-speed 1.5 megabit/second backbone that became the NSFNet. A key decision to use the DARPA TCP/IP protocols was made by Dennis Jennings, then in charge of the Supercomputer program at NSF.
The opening of the network to commercial interests began in 1988. The US Federal Networking Council approved the interconnection of the NSFNET to the commercial MCI Mail system in that year and the link was made in the summer of 1989. Other commercial electronic e-mail services were soon connected, including OnTyme, Telemail and Compuserve. In that same year, three commercial Internet Service Providers were created: UUNET, PSINET and CERFNET. Important, separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged with, the Internet include Usenet and BITNET. Various other commercial and educational networks, such as Telenet, Tymnet, Compuserve and JANET were interconnected with the growing Internet. Telenet (later called Sprintnet) was a large privately funded national computer network with free dial-up access in cities throughout the U.S. that had been in operation since the 1970s. This network was eventually interconnected with the others in the 1980s as the TCP/IP protocol became increasingly popular. The ability of TCP/IP to work over virtually any pre-existing communication networks allowed for a great ease of growth, although the rapid growth of the Internet was due primarily to the availability of commercial routers from companies such as Cisco Systems, Proteon and Juniper, the availability of commercial Ethernet equipment for local-area networking and the widespread implementation of TCP/IP on the UNIX operating system.
dell as in Dell computers?
Michael Dell.

thanks you lot but isn't there like a specfic name?
Not really, there was a team.
I heard it was milltary that used it to communicate to 1 an another but then managed to make it world wide?Quote:

My bad.
To follow on, ages ago there was many different 'net's, they weren't called internet as many of them wern't connected. Within a few decades they realized then potential, and they made the "root server" which is administrated and maintained by ICANN. This root server, is where dns is, they decide wether we can have .com or .what_i_want, although there are alternative roots known as "alt roots", these are what it used to be, they're own network, eg I bet you didn't know theres such thing as asia.asia? Try type it in as a url, thats on an alt root.
Those are called TLD's - Top Level Domains.
lol i learn too much from you lot lol, ta
dentafrice, nice to see u bak
ha, thanks.
I'm back when I get bored.
The American's (NASA) made the Internet you could say, though I guess it's an Intranet. However the world-wide web is different, it was created in Switzerland in CERN Labs by Tim-berners Lee (British!) and a few others but he's mainly responsible for making the WWW. With out the internet, DNS System, Hypertext and numerous other things they could of never made the WWW. The WWW is a bit like a compilation of loads of things.
From personal knowledge, I believe the internet/world wide web was developed and created at Cern in Geneva... I've seen a massive billboard about it in an airport. They're also developing something like version two of the internet called the Grid that you might of heard about, based around optic fibres and super fast speeds.
Bill Gates.
I say Alexander Graham Bell made the internet, without him this whole thing wouldn't exist :P
Wasn't the internet originally created so that the government could communicate with each other even if one computer was destroyed, the message would be passed onto another computer to send to another computer etc. So to cut communications, you would have to destroy every computer connected.
Only 4228250625 computers can be connected to the internet at one very time, but the number of computers connecting to the internet is growing, the IP address's may have to change :P
So currently its like 255.255.255.255, it may have to be lengthened to something like 255.255.255.255.255 :P

Tim Berners-Lee is largely responsible for the WWW but of course it wouldn't of happened with out loads of other people.
I think Bill Gates indirectly helped make the internet take off. If it wasn't for him they'd only be over-priced dominating Mac's which hardly anyone could afford so therefore they'd be hardly any home computers and hardly anyone using the internet so it wouldn't of took off.
Thats where your wrong :PQuote:

Yea, got it off some of my coursework.
The idea The initial idea is credited as being Leonard Kleinrock's after he published his first paper entitled "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets" on May 31, 1961.
In 1962 J.C.R. Licklider becomes the first Director of IPTO and gave his vision of a galactic network. In addition to the ideas from Licklider and Kleinrock, Robert Taylor helped create the idea of the network, which later became ARPANET.
Initial creation
The Internet as we know it today first started being developed in the late 1960's.
In the summer of 1968 the Network Working Group (NWG) held its first meeting chaired by Elmer Shapiro with the Stanford Research Institute (SLI) with attendees: Steve Carr, Steve Crocker, Jeff Rulifson, and Ron Stoughton. In the meeting the group discussed solving issues related to getting hosts to communicate with each other.
In December 1968 Elmer Shapiro with SLI released a report "A Study of Computer Network Design Parameters". Based on this work and earlier work done by Paul Baran, Thomas Marill and others; Lawrence Roberts and Barry Wessler helped to create the final version of the Interface Message Processor (IMP) specifications. BBN was later awarded the contract to design and build the IMP sub network.
Introduction of the Internet to the general public
UCLA puts out a press release introducing the public to the Internet on July 3, 1969.
First network equipment
August 29, 1969 the first network switch and the first piece of network equipment (called "IMP", which is short for Interface Message Processor) is sent to UCLA and on September 2, 1969 the first data moves from UCLA host to the switch.
The first distributed message
On Friday October 29, 1969 the first Internet message was sent from computer science Professor Leonard KleinRock's laboratory at UCLA after the second piece of network equipment was installed at SLI. This connection not only enabled the first transmission to be made but is also considered to be the first Internet backbone.
The first message to be distributed was: "LO", which was an attempt at "LOGIN" by Charley S. Kline to log into the SLI computer from UCLA. However, the message was unable to be completed because the SLI system crashed. Shortly after the crash the issue was resolved and he was able to log into the computer.
E-mail is developed
Ray Tomlinson introduces network e-mail in 1972, the first messaging system to send messages across a network to other users.
TCP is developed
Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn design TCP during 1973 and later publish it with the help of Yogen Dalal and Carl Sunshine in December of 1974 in RFC 675.
Ethernet is conceived
Bob Metcalfe develops Ethernet idea in 1973.
TCP/IP is created
In 1978 TCP splits into TCP/IP driven by Danny Cohen, David Reed, and John Shoch to support real-time traffic. This allows the creation of UDP. TCP/IP is later standardized into ARPANET in 1983 and is still the primary protocol used for the Internet.
DNS is introduced
Paul Mockapetris and Jon Postel introduce DNS in 1984.
HTML
In 1990 Tim Berners-Lee develops HTML, which makes a huge contribution to how we navigate and view the Internet today.
WWW
Tim Berners-Lee introduces WWW to the public on August 6, 1991.
So mainly to make what the internet is today all these people invented stuff for it
I made the internet.

I hope I will always have an IPv4 address :/ Theres not a hope in hell off memorizing an IPv6 address!
I don't think you will because the whole world needs to change to IPV6 at the same time doesn't it?
No, we can use a mix of IPv4 and IPv6.
Vista can use them both at the same time.

I'm using ipv4, but I have an ipv6 address, and my modem and router supports it, yay. We won't all need to switch, many, many, many people will still have a ipv4 address, ipv6s will be assigned in a few years, and ipv4 will sometimes be assigned, but a lot of time you might not be able to get an ipv4 address, especially if your dynamic, unless your isp has bought a big ip pool. (221.221.221.221-255.255.255.255) an amount of ip's.
Don't be confused by web 2.0, Web 2.0 is just a very modern way of coding and setting out websites, it's not actually the second version of the web like most people think.Quote:

Possible... if your willing to create your own technologies, with the eve of maybe php-3? I don't think php 2 would of done it well enough, we were then able to make proper social networks, etc.
What are you talking about? You didn't know PHP around PHP-3.Quote:
