this episode of life noggin is brought
to you by audible hey there welcome to
life noggin thanks to this wonderful
thing called the Internet you are
watching this video right now but how
did the internet get to where it is
today
there is so much internet history that
we couldn't possibly get to everything
in this short video so we're definitely
going to have to make a second one
anyway let's get started
the internet actually got its start over
50 years ago and computers back then
filled up entire rooms scientists and
researchers used it for years to
communicate during the Cold War it was
useful because if one computer went down
the others wouldn't follow in 1962 a
scientist named JCR Licklider proposed
the idea of a network of computers that
could talk to one another in 1969 the
first-ever message was sent from one
computer to another over the ARPANET the
government's computer network at the
time ARPANET stands for Advanced
Research Projects Agency one was located
in a research lab in UCLA and the other
at Stanford all the message said was
login and it didn't fail to crash the
network Stanford only received the first
two letters of the message but hey you
gotta start somewhere by the end of the
year only four computers were connected
to this network in 1971 the University
of Hawaii's Aloha net was added followed
by various networks in London in Norway
two years later also happening in 1971
ray Tomlinson was developing the first
system to send mail back and forth
between the users of ARPANET this would
eventually be called electronic mail or
email for short the @ symbol was used to
tell a person's name and the host name
apart with all of the networks floating
around there needed to be a way for all
of the computers on them to communicate
with other networks this is where
computer scientist named Vinton Cerf
comes in he invented a way to introduce
computers across the globe to each other
in a virtual space this invention was
called transmission control protocol or
TCP which was followed by Internet
Protocol or IP in the 80s scientists
used surf's protocol to send data back
and forth but the 90s is where it really
all began in 1991 computer programmer
named Tim berners-lee invented the World
Wide Web
this wasn't just a data sharing space
for scientists anymore this was an
entire network of information that was
accessible to anyone with an internet
connection you're using a browser right
now to watch this video and some of the
popular ones are Firefox Google Chrome
and Safari but in 1992
herwise was created Earl wise was an
internet browser and the first to have a
graphic
interface a few browsers came before and
after but in 1993 mosaic was created and
it would popularize surfing the web
mosaic influenced many of the browser's
to follow including Netscape Navigator
in 1994 this became the most popular web
browser at the time accounting for 90%
of the web usage in 1995 in the early
90s companies like AOL and CompuServe
were starting to provide dial-up
internet access dial-up is a method of
connecting to the Internet via telephone
line your telephone line was plugged
into a modem and the other end was
plugged into the phone jack there was a
period in history where you couldn't use
your telephone in the Internet at the
same time without the internet we
obviously wouldn't have things like
Facebook Twitter and YouTube but way
more importantly we wouldn't be able to
access information in seconds we
wouldn't be able to communicate with
people from around the world share ideas
and educate those who might not get a
chance elsewhere also without the
internet
I'd actually have to talk to someone
when I order a pizza which by the way
was the first thing ever purchased on
the Internet
