2. Acronym for the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network.
Was the first wide area network used to link research centers as well as
universities.
Also was the first to use packet switching and is considered the
beginning of the internet.
Started out connecting UCLA and Stanford Research Institute then
eventually the University of Utah and University of California-Santa
Barbra.
3. ARPANET
ARPANET was created by ARPA later renamed DARPA(Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency)
This agency was a created to build and create future technologies and
in doing so created the very first network.
J.C.R Licklider was the originator of ARPANET.
ARPANET was also the first network to use TCP/IP and this helped
to make ARPANET the biggest network created during this time.
4. ARPANET
The reason ARPANET was so important was that it was
essentially the birth of the internet.
Not only that but it paved the way for communications across
computers over long distances.
ARPANET is the backbone for the technology we use today and
will probably use forever in terms of the use of the internet and
networking systems.
6. NSFNET
Acronym for the National Science Foundation Network.
A network that was created by the National Science Foundation used
to provide computing resources for researchers.
In 1984, the NSF created numerous supercomputer centers to help
create the network.
NSF wanted to create a network of networks and used its NSFNET to
connect with the ARPANET to offer access to remote computing.
7. NSFNET
Dennis Jennings was the lead on the NSFNET project hired by the
NSF.
He made 3 important decisions to help the NSFNET grow.
• Make it a general purpose research network.
• Not limiting the network to the connection of supercomputers.
• Make a backbone for the connection of regional networks.
8. NSFNET
The reason the NSFNET was so important was because in 1990 after
the ARPANET was officially discontinued by the military, the research
network was passed to the NSFNET.
This passing from ARPANET to NSFNET helped to spread the use
of the network and increasing the usage of the Internet.
Since ARPANET is considered the birth and backbone of the
internet and since its discontinuing there had to be something to take its
place and make advances on such which is NSFNET.
9. WWW
Known as the World Wide Web.
Invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, to him it was a set of
technologies that would make the Internet useful to people.
As the World Wide Web has changed the way communication on
the Internet is used, three major technologies created made the
foundation the WWW.
10. WWW
HTML(Hypertext Markup Language)
URI(Uniform Resource Identifier)
HTTP(Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
The value of WWW is as it relates to the Internet was to use the
Internet as a gateway for human communication, commerce and
opportunity than just research on its own.
