Who invented the Internet

-



 In the context of the Internet's Inventor , there are some speculative things in the mind of the people. Internet can be reckoned as the latest invention of man which has revolutionised his style of working and living. It has completely reduced distance, broken all man-made barriers and made our world a small place. There is a vast difference what we think about the Internet and what it actually is like. Before knowing who the inventor is, let's get clear about Internet, Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP), World Wide Web (WWW) and HTML. This is necessary because many people think that Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn is the inventor and some others think that Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of the Internet.

 Internet : The Internet is the largest publicly accessible worldwide network of networks.



Leonard Kleinrock

 The initial idea of the Internet is credited to Leonard Kleinrock after he published his first paper entitled "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets" on May 31, 1961.

 Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) : The Internet Protocol Suite is the conceptual mode and set of communication protocols used on the Internet and similar computer networks. It is commonly known as TCP/IP.

Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn

 The Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP), the fundamental communication protocols at the heart of the Internet was invented by Robert Elliot Kahn (Bob Kahn) and Vinton Great Cerf (Vint Cerf) and first published in 1974.



Vint Cerf                              




                               Bob Kahn

 Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf are recognised as "the father of the Internet". 


 Several other TCP/IP prototypes were developed at multiple research centers between 1978 and 1983. The migration of the ARPANET to TCP/IP was officially completed on January 1,1983, when the new protocols were permanently activated.

 World Wide Web (WWW) : It is an information system on the Internet which allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another.




                         Tim Berners-Lee 

 English scientist Timothy John Berners-Lee (Tim Berners-Lee) invented the World Wide Web in 1989.

 Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) : It is an application protocol used by the World Wide Web for distributed, collaborative, and hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.




                 Tim Berners-Lee at CERN

 English scientist Timothy John Berners-Lee (Tim Berners-Lee) and his team at CERN are credited with inventing the original HTTP. Development of HTTP was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989.

 The Internet was not invented by a single individual. It is impossible to give credit to a single individual as the internet inventor. Yes, it is definitely that Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf are called "the fathers of the Internet". The Internet we know today is the results of many technology research projects primarily within the United States Department of Defense (ARPANET), United Kingdom (NPL), France (CYCLADES) & European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Laboratories.


 The Internet was the brainchild of dozens of pioneering scientists, programmers and engineers who each developed new features and technologies that eventually merged to become the catenated network for Information as we know today.

Who Owns the Internet

    Who is the Owner of the Internet      The Internet is the largest publicly accessible worldwide network of networks.   Some people think that Internet Service Provider (ISP) is the owner the Internet and some people think Google is the owner. There are this kind too many speculative things in some people's (specifically new users of the Internet) mind about the ownership of Internet.       No one actually owns the Internet until now.     A single person or a organisation or a particular nation don't own the Internet, although it did start with the Federal Government of the United States (U. S. Federal Government) directly funded project the ARPANET. Later the US Government turned over what it incubated to the private sector where it has flourished.         So, Everyone owns the Internet, at least in their part.         " Who owns the Internet? Until recently, nobody. That’s because, although the Internet was “Made in the U.S.A.,” its u
