5. The history of the Internet began with the
development of electronic computers in
the 1950s. The public was first
introduced to the concepts that would
lead to the Internet when a message
was sent over the ARPANet from
computer science Professor Leonard
Kleinrock's laboratory at University of
California, Los Angeles (UCLA), after the
second piece of network equipment was
installed atStanford

6. Professor Leonard
Kleinrock's
Leonard Kleinrock (born June 13, 1934) is an American
engineer and computer scientist. A computer science professor
at UCLA'sHenry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science,
he made several important contributions to the field of computer
networking, in particular to the theoretical side of computer
networking. He also played an important role in the development
of theARPANET, the precursor to the Internet, at UCLA.

7.  Internet has been the most useful technology of

modem the modern technologies of the DSL broadband connections
are much better to use and strongly recommended.
The software equipments for the internet connections are very few
and reasonably easy to follow. A web browser is generally needed
for the internet browsing and the visiting of the web sites. The most
