La Internet surgió en 1969 cuando el Departamento de Defensa de EE.UU. creó ARPANET, una red de comunicaciones capaz de resistir un ataque nuclear. ARPANET conectó cuatro universidades y fue creciendo, adoptando el protocolo TCP/IP. En los años siguientes otras agencias crearon redes que finalmente se unieron, formando Internet. En 1993 el navegador Mosaic permitió a los usuarios acceder a páginas web y contenidos multimedia a través de Internet.
El documento habla sobre la domótica. Se define como la integración de la tecnología en el diseño inteligente de un recinto para automatizar una vivienda y aportar servicios como la gestión energética, seguridad y bienestar. Un sistema domótico usa sensores, actuadores y una unidad central para controlar dispositivos en la casa de forma automática. Existen diferentes arquitecturas como la centralizada, distribuida y descentralizada.
El Internet tuvo su origen en la década de 1960 cuando el ejército de Estados Unidos creó la red ARPANET exclusivamente para fines militares, conectando cuatro universidades. En los años siguientes, la red creció y evolucionó gracias a investigadores que desarrollaron nuevos protocolos de comunicación. Finalmente, en la década de 1990, las redes universitarias y militares se unieron para formar lo que hoy conocemos como Internet, que se popularizó con la creación del navegador Mosaic en 1993.

The document discusses how marriage rates have declined in New York since the 1930s and the impact this has had on child poverty. It notes that 42% of children in New York are now born outside of marriage compared to only 2% in the 1930s. Single mothers are over 5 times more likely to be in poverty than married couples. 72% of poor families with children in New York are not married.

The document discusses marriage and child poverty in New Mexico. It finds that unmarried childbearing has increased greatly in the state since World War II and now over half of births are to unmarried mothers. This has contributed significantly to high levels of child poverty, as children living with single parents are much more likely to be poor compared to children from married, two-parent families. The document proposes three steps to help reduce child poverty through marriage: providing information on the benefits of marriage, reducing disincentives for marriage in welfare programs, and promoting programs to strengthen marriages.

2) Marriage reduces the probability of child poverty by 93% in New Hampshire. The poverty rate for single mothers with only a high school diploma is 28.2% compared to 3% for married couples at the same education level.
3) To reduce child poverty, the document recommends providing information on marriage benefits, reducing anti-marriage penalties in welfare programs, and promoting programs to strengthen marriages and reduce divorce.
Marriage rates have declined in Nevada since the 1960s, leading to increased rates of child poverty. In 2010, 44.3% of births in Nevada occurred outside of marriage, compared to just 5.2% in 1964. Children born to single parents are nearly 5 times more likely to live in poverty compared to children with married parents. Additionally, two-thirds of poor families with children in Nevada are not married. Promoting marriage through public education on its benefits and reducing disincentives in welfare programs may help reduce child poverty rates in the state.
The document discusses how marriage rates and child poverty are related in Nebraska. It provides statistics showing that from 1968 to 2010, the percentage of children born out of wedlock in Nebraska increased from 7.2% to 33.6%, mirroring national trends. Unmarried families with children are more likely to be in poverty, with 36.4% of single mothers living in poverty compared to 5.2% of married couples. Both marriage and education are effective at reducing child poverty, with married high school graduates having a poverty rate of 6.6% compared to 41% for single mothers with the same education level.

16. Three Steps to Reduce Child Poverty through Marriage
1) Provide information on the benefits of marriage in reducing child poverty
and improving child well-being.
Marriage is a highly effective institution which greatly decreases parental and child
poverty while improving long-term outcomes for children. Conversely, the absence of
marriage greatly increases welfare costs and imposes added burdens on taxpayers.
Unfortunately, almost no information on these topics is available in low-income
communities. This information deficit should be corrected in the following manner:
• Explain the benefits of marriage in middle and high schools with a high
proportion of at-risk youth;
• Create public education campaigns in low-income communities on the
benefits of marriage; and,
• Require federally funded birth control clinics to provide information on the
benefits of marriage and the skills needed to develop stable families to
interested low-income clients.
2) Reduce anti-marriage penalties in means-tested welfare programs.
3) Promote life-goal-planning, marriage-strengthening, and divorce-reduction
programs to increase healthy marriages and reduce divorce and separation.
