The history of the internet began in 1968 with the creation of ARPANET, which connected 4 computers. In the following decades, important developments included the creation of TCP/IP in 1973, Ethernet in 1976, USENET in 1979, and the domain name system in 1983. By the 1990s, CERN had released the world wide web and Mosaic created the first graphical web browser, allowing internet use to grow exponentially.

1. HistoryofInternet
1968
Beginning of the internet - ARPANET:4 Computers
connected (Advance Research Projects Agency Networks)
1969
Telnet was created. A user command and an underlying
TCPIP protocol for accessing remote computers.
1971
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) created: 23 computers
connected. Email was developed. Ray Thomlinson made
the first email.
1972
Vinton Cerf (Father of Internet) was elected as chair of an
internetworking group.

2. 1973
Vinton Cerf developed the TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol) it is used to connect the hosts to the internet.
1976
Robert Metcalfe developedthe Ethernet, a family of
computer networking technologies for local area
networks (LANs).
1979
Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis created the USENET, a
worldwide distributed Internet discussion system.
1981
National Science Foundation created CSNET for those who
are not connected to ARPANET. Cerf proposes
interconnection.

3. 1982
The term "Internet" was used for the first time. BBS (Bulletin
Board System) was created, a computer system that allows users
to connect and log in using a terminal program.
1983
Wisconsin created the DNS (Domain Name Service) so
that addresses could be text and not numbers. URL was
born.
1987
BITNET and CSNET merge to form CREN (Coorperation for Research and
Educational Networking) a non-profit, member organization of over 220
universities, colleges, and research organizations governed by a 12member Board of Trustees.
1990
Tim-Berners Lee and CERN creates hypertext, Hypernet
then disband, and so only internet was left.

4. 1992
CERN released the World Wide Web.
1993
Mac Anderson creates "Mosaic" the first graphical web
browser wich is easy to use and install.
1995
Internet delivers more mail(email) than the US post office.
with 6,642,000 hosts.
1996
Internet celebrates its 25th anniversary. With 40,000,000
people connected, 12,000,000 hosts. The number of
computer doubles every 12 to 14 months.
2000
The internet continuously grew. There were 185 countries
connected, 70,00 computer networks, 300,000,000 people using
the internet worldwide. How about now?
