http://www.ziplink.net/~lroberts/InternetChronology.html
Internet Chronology Lawrence G. Roberts March 22 1997 - updated Oct 24, 1999
  • Jul-61 First Paper on Packet Switching Theory, Leonard Kleinrock, "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets.", RLE Quarterly Progress Report. This was the theoretical work that convinced Roberts that packets could be used for the Internet. Oct-62 ARPA Computer Program Begins, J.C.R. Licklider becomes first ARPA IPTO Director. Writes internal papers on Galactic Network. Lick leaves in 64. It was Licklider's concept, which spurred Roberts to build the Internet. 1964 Book - Communication Nets by Leonard Kleinrock provides the network design and queuing theory necessary to build packet networks. This work was a major factor in designing the communications network for the ARPANET. It shows that packet switching would work, whereas until the ARPANET was built in 1969, most communications experts claimed that packet switching would never work. Mar-64 First Paper on Secure Packetized Voice, Paul Baran, "On Distributed Communications Networks", IEEE Transactions on Systems. It is from this paper that the rumor was started that the Internet was created by the military to withstand nuclear war. This is totally false. Even though this Rand work was based on this premise, the ARPANET and the Internet stemmed from the MIT work of Licklider, Kleinrock and Roberts, and had no relation to Baran's work.

Internet Explorer cleanup

(Internet Cache and History) What is the Internet Cache? Your Internet cache is in the Temporary Internet Files folder on your hard disk. This is where Web pages and files (such as graphics) are stored as you view them. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen, because it is faster to open them from your hard disk than from the Web. The downside of this is that it takes up space on your hard disk, and it can sometime cause problems in loading a page that you have visited many times before. What is the Internet History? Your Internet history is a record of all the sites you have visited. This option gives you the ability to see what sites you have visited. If you visited a site and don't know what the name of the site is, you can try to find it in your history. After a certain number of days, this history will be cleaned out. Cleanup of Internet Explorer To clean up the Internet cache and history in IE, you will need to open up Microsoft Internet Explorer. You should have a menu, as shown above.

Non Profit Organisations TEL: 01431 821190 Fundamentally, the Internet, commonly referred to as the Net, is an extremely large, global computer network connecting as of January 1999, more than 20 million host computers ( servers ) and supporting some 500 million subscribers ( clients )! Internet technology originally evolved in the early 1960's, at the instigation of the US defence department, to enable strategic computer networks to remain operational in the event of one or more nodes being out of commission during a nuclear war. The logic was simple; bombing a system based on an individual mainframe computer network would result in only a few nodes being lost, allowing the other nodes to route around the other nodes. This was achieved by using a methodology known as "packet switching", which worked by breaking up a data file into small "packets" and transmitting them to another location by multiple routes where the packets would be re-assembled back into the original data file and duplicate packets discarded. In 1969, the first packet-switching network was developed by the Pentagon's Advanced Research Project's Agency. Known as ARPAnet, the original network connected 4 research establishments, and by 1972 the network had expanded to incorporate 40 nodes. ARPAnet soon became a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among scientists and academics, and within a few years the number of computers connected to the network increased to more than 100.

Internet History Recap
CNN.com today has a supereb recap of Internet history combined with many interesting charts and stats. I was particularly interested in the "history" section of the report. The writer mentions Jean Armour Polly in 1992 coining the term "surfing the Internet." Jean wrote for my old Meckler Publishing Corporation back in those days and we were in the thick of reporting on the beginnins of the Internet. Jean's creating the term in 1992 is quite amazing because there was no World Wide Web in 1992 -surfing as we know it today had to wait at least two more years. I believe the report has another historical error when it states that the first ad on the Internet was created by ATT and Zima. I am quite certain that the first ad on the Net was from Lufthansa Airlines. The ad was run on Jeff Dearth's Electronic Newsstand then owned by The New Republic.

INTERNET GROWTH STATISTICS
Today's road to eCommerce and global trade
And the " Global Village " became a Reality
Internet has made real what in the 1970's that visionary of the communications Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) called the "Global Village". In a matter of very few years, the Internet has consolidated itself as a very powerful platform that has changed the way we do business, and the way we communicate. The Internet, as no other medium, has given an International or, if you prefer, a "Globalized" dimension to the world. It is the Universal source of information. Internet is actually the most democratic of all the mass media. With a very low investment, anyone can have a web page in Internet. This way, almost any business can reach a very large market, directly, fast and economically, no matter the size or its location of your business. With a very low investment almost anybody that can read and write can have access to the World Wide Web. "When I took office, only high energy physicists had ever heard of what is called the World Wide Web ... Now even my cat has it's own page."

Introduction
What Gore Said

Repetition Equals Reality

Who Invented What, and When Did They Invent It?
...
Why This Matters
Introduction
It has become an automatic laugh. Jay Leno, David Letterman, or any other comedic talent can crack a joke about Al Gore "inventing the Internet," and the audience is likely to respond with howls of laughter. Even Gore himself participates in the merriment: in a recent episode of Leno's Tonight Show, Vice President Al Gore was seen holding the cue cards. The joke? "Al Gore invented cue cards" - a clear reference to Gore's supposed claim about the invention of the Internet. In his September 26, 2000 town hall meeting held as part of MTV's "Choose or Lose" series before a group of students at the Media Union at the University of Michigan, Gore joked, "I invented the environment." The students erupted in laughter. Gore is at once the object and progenitor of the humor. The commonly accepted wisdom is that Al Gore, prone to exaggerating his record, claimed at one point on national television that he "invented the Internet." Not only is this fodder for comedians' monologues, this widely accepted folklore may have materially affected the 2000 Presidential campaign:
  • Gore is seen by many pundits, and presumably by millions in the public at large, as a politician who makes up the facts to fit the desires of the audience. Given the putative "fact" that he claimed to have "invented the Internet," this tendency towards exaggeration apparently even extends to Gore's own resume. No one would hire a new employee who was known to have padded a resume; who would vote for a candidate for the presidency who had done the same?

RAND Rand Paul Baran, of the RAND Corporation proposes the concept of a packet switched network. ARPANET ARPANET begins, with the four initial nodes at University of California at Los Angeles, SRI (in Stanford), University of California at Santa Barbara, and University of Utah. The network was connected by 56 Kbps circuits. Email The first e-mail program was written. The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was renamed as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). TCP/IP Work begins on what would be later TCP/IP protocol. The project was developed by a group headed by Vinton Cerf from Stanford and Bob Kahn from DARPA. This new protocol would allow all types of computer networks to interconnect and communicate with each other. TCP The term Internet is first coined by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in a paper on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

    The USSR launches Sputnik, the first artificial earth satellite. In response,the United States forms the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) within theDepartment of Defense (DoD) to establish US lead in science and technology applicable to the military. Backbones: None - Hosts: None RAND Paul Baran, of the RAND Corporation (a government agency), was commissioned by the U.S. Air Force to do a study on how it could maintain its command and control over its missiles and bombers, after a nuclear attack. This was to be a military research network that could survive a nuclear strike, decentralized so that if any locations (cities) in the U.S. were attacked, the military could still have control of nuclear arms for a counter-attack.
    Baran's finished document described several ways to accomplish this. His final proposal was a packet switched network.
    "Packet switching is the breaking down of data into datagrams or packets that are labeled to indicate the origin and the destination of the information and the forwarding of these packets from one computer to another computer until the information arrives at its final destination computer. This was crucial to the realization of a computer network. If packets are lost at any given point, the message can be resent by the originator."
