Development of the Global Web or who invented the Internet?

In the 1950s, there was a lot of passion in the world about a possible war with the USSR. America seemed invulnerable because of its geographical location, began to seriously think about the theoretical possibility of military operations. One of the main aspects for the military and the requirement for scientists was the creation of a network for the exchange of information between units and military units, in conditions of total bombing.

The result of these tasks was the assignment on a contractual basis by the US Department of Defense to the four leading organizations in this field. Answering the question - "who invented the Internet?" - it is necessary to clarify what exactly was meant. Speaking of the progenitor of the Internet as a Global Web, we can consider the founders of three universities (California, Utah, California) and a research center in Stanforth. They created the first "mini-global network" - ARPANET, in 1957. The main purpose was at that time - the use of the network by these scientific organizations.

Stepping back a little from the network, it is necessary and to note who invented the first computer? After all, the network at that time was a connection by cables of super-power computer stations (they had huge dimensions). In 1946, ENIAC released the world's first electronic computer. Of course, the PC of our days differs significantly from the EMU, but it is already close. In April 1964, IBM Corporation has already released a serial PC (still impressive size) - System 60. However, not everyone knows that from a legal point of view, the first patent for a "universal" prototype computer was obtained by the inventor of the "intellectual" from Omsk Gorokhov .

Now the picture is clearer and answer the question - "who invented the Internet?", It is possible from a different point of view. September 1969 - at the University of California (Los Angeles) appears the first ever server. The car was recognized by Honeywell and had the designation DP-516. Now the "selected" users have the opportunity to create and store centralized databases. Indeed, try to imagine the current Global Web without servers - it will only be email clients, personal resources and torrent sites.

In October of the same year, an attempt was made to transfer online at the office of the University of California. Scientists wanted to type the word "LOGIN" on another university's computer. And let them do it not the first time, they still did it. If to say in which year the Internet was invented online, then this is the date. Modern services and services would be difficult to imagine not in on-line mode. The user is spoiled, he needs here and now. Then at the greatest minds of the world this hardly happened.

But what was the Internet of that time? Now the question "who invented the Internet?" Is not actual, it is actual - "what was in it?". And it was not really much. Today, such a network is unlikely to interest an ordinary user. But people saw the prospects and understood that everything was just beginning. Only in 1971 appeared the prototype of a modern program for sending e-mail. People instantly appreciated this and began to get involved in this network.

The ARPANET network was launched in 1973 to the international level. This year, the first connection of computers from the UK and Norway took place. This is made possible by the use of a transatlantic cable for telephone lines. The Internet was changing. The development of email clients (the creation of mailing lists), bulletin boards and news prototypes of blogs appear. Entrepreneurs immediately realized that this is a gold mine, and began not only to be interested in a new phenomenon, but also to invest in it.

But ARPANET did not rest on its laurels for a long time. In 1984, people began to use the alternative - NSFNet. This once compound structure from university networks also began to gain popularity. Its creators - NSF USA, did not think to miss this opportunity and watch their competitors get world recognition. In 1988, something similar to modern chat appears. People predict the future of a phenomenon whose name is "the Internet." But let's return to the competition. The Internet and the World Wide Web are two different things. But now it's not about that. People were comfortable with the term "Internet", therefore, for this title the struggle unfolded.

In the network now asking the question "who invented the Internet?", You can find the name of Bernes-Lee Tim. This is not a mistake, it is again a relative point of view. In 1989, at the ISNI, this distinguished programmer introduced the concept of a "single space". It will take several years and it will present the world of HTTP, on the basis of which HTML will be created. This is the usual classification and routing by url. Perhaps the emergence of a generalized standard that allowed not to alter, but layer (convert) the networks of various protocols and really should be considered the birthday of the "normal Internet".

In the 90-th year the ARPANET network completely ceased to function, giving up the laurels of NSFNet. What made this easier is hard to understand. But the story will show interesting moments. Also note the first call on the network this year. In 1991, the world's first "Mosaic" browser from NCSA appeared. Now the Internet is not only affordable, but also understandable for everyone. The history of the development of browsers, you probably know; In any case - this is a separate topic. The main thing is that the popularity was such that the need to connect your PC to the World Wide Web was not even a question.

Returning to the riddles of the development of companies and their products, it is worth noting that NSFNet went into the scientific community and completely gave the network to regional providers. The Internet has become a proper name, and its structure has fallen by region.

Now the Internet is a whole information system that can practically live on its own.
