History Internet

History of the Internet began a string of arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first satellite Sputnik 1 that trigger their arms race between the Soviet Union and the United States when Dwight Eisenhower created ARPA agency (later named as DARPA) to lead in the technology. ARPA appointed JCR Licklider to head the IPTO a new organization with a mandate to further research the SAGE program to protect U.S. airspace from nuclear attack. At the IPTO, Licklider promote the idea has benefits communication network across the country and this affects the successor after Lawrence Roberts to take the work to implement the vision.

Roberts led the development of new ideas based network packet switched (packet switching), which was discovered by Paul Baran at RAND and a few years later by Donald Davies at the UK National Physical Laboratory. A special computer called Interface Message Processor (Interface Message Processor) developed for the design and realization of the ARPANET began operating in early October 1969. The first communication between research done at the University of California at Los Angeles and the Stanford Research Institute.

The first network protocol is used ARPANET Network Control Program (Network Control Program). In 1983, this protocol was replaced by TCP / IP, developed olehRobert Kahn, Vint Cerf and others. The use of this protocol thus be widespread throughout the world.

In 1990, the ARPANET was retired and transferred to the NSFNET. NSFNET was then connected to the connecting CSNET universities around North America and then on to the connecting Eunet research facilities in Europe. With visionary management played by NSF and fueled by the popularity of the web, the internet exploded after 1990. This caused the U.S. government to transfer management to independent organizations starting in 1995.

Internet Today

Various Internet applications, such as web browsers, FTP and Telnet

Internet commercial agreements enforced by bi-or multi-party and technical specifications (protocol describes the data transfer between networks). These protocols are based on the discussion of the Internet Engineering Task Force (Internet Engineering Task Force - IETF) that is open to the public. The agency issued a document known as RFC (Request for Comments). Some of RFC standards used by the Design Internet Internet (Internet Architecture Board - IAB). Internet protocols are often used are TCP / IP, UDP, DNS, PPP, SLIP, ICMP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, FTP, LDAP and SSL.

Some popular service on the Internet that use the protocol above, is e-mail, Usenet, Newsgroups, file sharing, the World Wide Web (WWW), Gopher, WAIS, finger, IRC, MUD, and thy. In between all this, e-mail and the World Wide Web most frequently used, and more services are built based on it, such as mailing lists and blogs. Internet enables the real-time services such as web radio and web broadcast, which can be accessed around the world.

Some popular Internet services based on proprietary systems is like IRC, ICQ, AIM, CDDB, Torrent and Gnutella.

A global Internet information provider com Score reported that the number of unique Internet users achieving a Level 1 billion in December 2008. According to research statistics, the Asia-Pacific region has the most number of number of Internet users, with 41 percent, followed by Europe (28 per cent), North America (18 percent), Latin America (7 percent) and lastly the Middle East & Africa (together with 5 per cent). China surpass list in the country with 17.8 percent of the worldwide Internet browser.  According to the list of visited web sites, the Google ranked top with 778 million unique visitors. This was followed by Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL and Wikipedia's sister project.

Internet Access

Countries with the best Internet access, including South Korea (50 of the population has broadband access (Broadband), and Sweden. There are two common forms of Internet access, the dial-up access, and broadband.

Internet use in public

Internet is also increasingly being used in public. Some public places that provide Internet services including library, and Internet Cafe (also known as Cyber ​​Cafe). There is also a public place which provides internet services, such as Internet kiosks, Public Access Terminal (Public Access Terminal), and the Mobile Web.

There is also a shop or restaurant that provides free Wi-Fi access or hotspots, such as WiFi-cafe. Users only need to bring a laptop (notebook) or a PDA, which has WiFi capability to access the Internet.
