There are different theories as to how and when the Internet began. Some people think that the internet was invented in the Pentagon in 1969 to survive a nuclear attack. The people who support this theory went as far as celebrating the Internet's 35th birthday in 2004. Many people believe the contrary. Some seem to think that in 1969 at the Pentagon is not the time or place that the Internet was started. From my research it doesn't seem that anyone can agree on the exact time and place that the internet all began. Larry Roberts was told to build the Arpanet network. In the research I found, he states, "Arpanet was never intended to link people to be communications and information facility." According to Roberts Arpanet was for time-sharing. This was supposed to make research institutions able to use the processing power of other institutions computers when they had large calculations to do. Even though there motivation was not to send messages between people, the Internet eventually evolved into even more than that. The name Internet was a short name for "internetworking". In 1975 the first prototype was being tested. The TCP/IPv4 was released later in 1978 after much development. Although it was released in 1978, it became available for everyone else in 1983. The first server name was developed in 1983 also. In 1986 the Internet Engineering Task Force was created for the Internet Core gateway system. In 1991, businesses were allowed to use the internet for profit for the first time. By 1992 internet society was chartered. InterNIC was created by NSF to provide specific internet services in 1993. In 1994, the internet really grew. Many new networks were added to the NSF backbone. Hundreds of thousands of new hosts were added to the INTERNET during this time period. Pizza Hut started to offer ordering on their webpage in 1994. The first virtual bank (cyber bank) opened. Home and business users could gain access to the internet. In 1995, businesses like American Online and Prodigy offered internet access to people all over the globe. RealAudio made real-time for people to listen to music and speech on the internet. By this time more and more everyday people had gotten some sort of internet connection and they started to learn how to use it. The World Wide Web allowed the spread of information over the internet through an easy-to use format. It really helped to popularize the use of the internet. To see a web page you usually begin by typing the URL of the page into the web browser, ending with a hyperlink. The web browser understands the series of communication messages (what we can't see) and it gets the information and displays it. Today the internet is highly used in the more developed countries all over the world. People use the internet to research, sell, buy, blog, entertain themselves, and much more. From the very start of the internet to now, the internet has expanded and developed tremendously.
