   A Brief History of the Internet


 -The Internet has revolutionized the computer and communications world like nothing before. The invention of the telegraph,telephone, radio, and computer set the stage for this unprecedented integration of capabilities. The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic location.

   Origin


 -The Internet grew out of the Advanced  Research  Projects Agency's Wide Area Network (then called ARPANET) established by the  United States Department  Of Defense in 1960s for  collaboration  in military research among  business  and  government laboratories.

 Later, universities and other United States institutions connected to it. This resulted in ARPANET growing beyond everyone's expectations and acquiring the name 'INTERNET'.

 The development of  hypertext  based technology  (called World Wide web, WWW, or just the Web) provided means of displaying text, graphics and animations and easy  search  and  navigation  tools that triggered Internet's  explosive  worldwide growth.

   

   Uses of  the Internet


  -Internet has been the most useful technology of the modern time which helps us not only in our daily lives, but also our  personal and professional lives developments. The internet  helps us achieve this in several different ways.

 For the students and educational purposes the internet is widely used to gather information so as to do the research or add to the knowledge of various subjects. Even the business professionals and the professionals like doctors, access the internet to filter the necessary information for their use. The internet is therefore the largest encyclopedia for everyone, in all age categories. The internet has served to be more useful in maintaining contacts with friends and relatives who live abroad
permanently.
