Sagarneel Majumder is a 4th year Computer Science and Engineering student at WBUT. This document discusses the history and effects of the internet. It outlines how the internet began with early computer networks in the 1950s and the creation of ARPANET in the 1960s. The internet provides access to vast information and allows global communication, but can also enable criminal activities and internet addiction if not used properly. Graphs are presented analyzing internet usage. Parental guidance and limiting screen time are suggested for recovery from negative effects.
