Origins of the Internet  1957 - Russia launches the first satellite into space - Sputnik.  The U.S. responds by forming the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) designed to give the U.S. a lead in using science and technology applicable to the military.  1968 - Larry Roberts wrote the first design plans for ARPANET  1969 - ARPANET (the Internet) - was designed in response to the cold war 17

In the Beginning of Network 18

ARPANET grew rapidly 19

The Invention of World Wide Web What drove Tim Berners-Lee to imagine this game- changing model for information sharing?  Tim Berners-Lee was a software consultant at CERN in the 1980s when he began writing Tangle, an application to help him keep track of CERN's many scientists, projects and incompatible computers  He thought it would be a whole lot simpler if the computers could swap their information directly, even though, at that time, computers didn't communicate with one another. 21

The Web  The Web turned out to be the killer app of all time  The three main innovations  HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)  Allows you to click on a link and be brought to that Web page  URLs (Universal Resource Locators) 22

The Web  HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)  Gives you the ability to put links in documents and pages so they connect 23

The Birth of Google  Larry Page noticed that while it was trivial to follow links from one page to another, it was nontrivial to discover links back  He thought it would be useful to know who was linking to whom  Academics build their papers on a carefully constructed foundation of citation  Each paper reaches a conclusion by citing previously published papers as proof points that advance the 24 author's argument

Project BackRub  Larry Page and Sergey Brin's attempts to reverse engineer Berners-Lee's World Wide Web that led to Google  The needle that threads these efforts together is citation brings us back to the original research Page did on such backlinks, a project he came to call BackRub 25

The Birth of Google  Page came up with the concept of weighted ranking, while Brin (left) figured out the math  PageRank worked by analyzing links, the bigger the Web, the better the engine  That fact inspired the founders to name their new engine Google, after googol, the term for the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeroes 26

The Revolution of a Phone  Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone that was used by virtually every human on earth  You can use a smart phone to record and view events  You can also share your clip video to the whole world’s population via a phone  You can read emails, play games, and join social network via a phone  You can also edit and view the documents on a phone  You can share comments and recommendations about whatever you have seen 27

A Modern Smart Phone 28

Social Network on Smart Phone 29

The Birth of iPod  Tony Fadell had an idea to take an MP3 player, build a Napster music sale service to complement it, and build a company around it  “This is the project that's going to remold Apple and 10 years from now, it's going to be a music business, not a computer business," Fadell 30 predicted in early 2001.

The Birth of iPhone by Steve Jobs  We all had cell phones. We just hated them, they were so awful to use. The software was terrible. The hardware wasn't very good  It was a great challenge. Let's make a great phone that we fall in love with 31
