		A Short History of Internet Protocols at CERN ^Votes:0 A Short History of Internet Protocols at CERN Ben Segal / CERN PDP-NS April, 1995 Now that the Internet has exploded in popularity on a world wide scale, with a major component of its success (the World Wide Web ) being developed at CERN , it seems a good time to look back and trace the history of the Internet at CERN. Even before the Web allowed Internet penetration in the most unexpected places, the presence of the Internet protocols at CERN had already encouraged their adoption not only in many other parts of Europe but also in such influential organizations as the ITU and ISO in Geneva. Another reason for writing this history today is that it is almost exactly ten years ago that CERN named me as its first "TCP/IP Coordinator".

		Brief History of the Internet ^Votes:0 Brief History of the Internet Brief History of the Internet by Sarang Gupta If you were to ask 100 people, "Why does everyone on the Internet have a home page?", they would probably stare at you blankly or beat you till you dropped (except in New York City, where they'd beat you until they dropped). In fact, the safest way to take this poll would be to post your query to an Internet newsgroup. And, to increase your responses, you can be doubly safe and post it to every newsgroup. People who have tried this method have reported a significant number of responses, along with several suggestions to improve their polling method, most of which are, unfortunately, anatomically impossible. The answer to the question, however, is quite simple-- Americans are stupid. Scientists continuously use Read More Go to Site

In fact, though, today's multi-billion dollar industry in Internet hardware and software is the direct descendant of strategically-motivated fundamental research begun in the 1960s with federal sponsorship. A fertile mixture of high-risk ideas, stable research funding, visionary leadership, extraordinary grass-roots cooperation, and vigorous entrepreneurship has led to an emerging Global Information Infrastructure unlike anything that has ever existed.

		Cosmos: Internet History ^Votes:0 Internet History Almost as soon as computers were developed, the need to transfer information between differen machines became apparent. In the early 1960s, computer scientists across the country began exploring ways of directly connecting remote computers and their users. In the mid-to-late 60s, the United States government began to realize the impact computers would have on education and military reseach and development. So, the government decided to fund an experimental network that would allow remote research and development sites to exchange information. This network, funded by the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency, was named the ARPANET . One of the major impacts of the ARPANET research, and the one that led to today's "Internet" , was the development of the TCP/IP (Tr Read More Go to Site

F&SF, Box 56, Cornwall CT 06753 $26/yr USA $31/yr other F&SF Science Column #5 Some thirty years ago, the RAND Corporation, America's foremost Cold War think-tank, faced a strange strategic problem. How could the US authorities successfully communicate after a nuclear war? Postnuclear America would need a command-and-control network, linked from city to city, state to state, base to base. But no matter how thoroughly that network was armored or protected, its switches and wiring would always be vulnerable to the impact of atomic bombs. A nuclear attack would reduce any conceivable network to tatters. And how would the network itself b Read More Go to Site

		IRC: The Net in Realtime ^Votes:0 IRC: The Net in Realtime by Charles A. Gimon Part Two: History IRC started with the efforts of Jarkko Oikarinen in 1988, at the University of Oulu, Finland. Oikarinen's new "Internet Relay Chat" was designed as a multi-user variation on the unix "talk" utility. The original unix talk program, which is still available on many machines that run on unix, allowed two users to type messages to each other in real time. Your text appeared on the top half of the screen, the other user's text at the bottom. Oikarinen gave us the IRC environment we know today, first with many users logged into a single server in Oulu, then with three Finnish servers linked together into the first IRC net, and by the end of 1988, into an IRC net that stretched across the Internet itself. For a year or so, everything Read More Go to Site

At the age of 6, Leonard Kleinrock was reading a Superman comic at his apartment in Manhattan, when, in the centerfold, he found plans for building a crystal radio. To do so, he needed his father's used razor blade, a piece of pencil lead, an empty toilet paper roll, and some wire, all of which he had no trouble obtaining. In addition, he needed an earphone which he promptly appropriated from a public telephone booth. The one remaining part was something called a "variable capacitor". For this, he convinced his mother to take him on the subway down to Canal Street, the center for radio electronics. Upon arrival to one of the sh Read More Go to Site

The World Wide Web was started originally proposed in 1989 and the first implementation appeared in 1990. The Web however, did not gain any widespread popular use until NCSA Mosaic became available in early 1993. In Spring of 1993, I wrote the Wanderer to systematically traverse the Web and collect sites. I was initially motivated primarily to discover new sites, as the Web was still a relatively small place.

Hopefully, you will gain some perspective and come to understand the early Internet experience (although one could argue that the experience in question is a lot like sitting in front of a mainframe terminal in the middle of the night with a Twinkie-and-Jolt buzz). At worst, you should find it entertaining. In the Archive you'll find a growing collection of early network publications.

		The Internet's History and Development ^Votes:0 The Internet's History and Development The Internet's History and Development From Wartime Tool to the Fish-Cam by Scott Ruthfield It was 1964, the height of the Cold War, and Americans spent their free time building bomb shelters and stockpiling canned food in preparation for the impending nuclear attack. The government, however, had a more pervasive problem. If war did come, how would the military be able to communicate? A centralized system might easily be destroyed in wartime, and so traditional technologies wouldn't work. This fear impressed a need on the government to do something different -- to develop a whole new scheme for post-nuclear communication. Today, a descendant of that Cold War mechanism is used to track seismological phenomena, transmit pressing news bulletins, and send Read More Go to Site

		Yahoo! Media Relations ^Votes:0 Media Relations Home - Info Center Home The History of Yahoo! - How It All Started... Yahoo! began as a student hobby and evolved into a global brand that has changed the way people communicate with each other, find and access information and purchase things. The two founders of Yahoo!, David Filo and Jerry Yang, Ph.D. candidates in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, started their guide in a campus trailer in February 1994 as a way to keep track of their personal interests on the Internet.
