today we had learn about the history of internet and its development.Very interesting topics as we know when and how internet was introduced to us.As we know,internet has become an indeed integral part in our lives.With internet,the worlds is like at the tip of our fingers.Right from online banking, to shopping to online dating, the internet facilitates all, and since it has been such great boom to humanity.Due to that, we must try to know about its history and origin.

At the beginning,it was first developed by U.S Defense Advanced Rsearch Project Agency (DARPA) that started a research program called the Internetting project to develop communication protocols which would allow networked computers to communicate transparently across multiple, linked packet networks.  The system of networks which emerged from the research is what we know as the Internet. The system of protocols which was developed during this project is the TCP/IP

 Protocol Suite, after the two initial protocols developed: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP).Starting for the time,internet had being developed until now.Since its creation in 1983, the Internet has grown exponentially in terms of numbers of networks connected to it. By 1985, 100 networks, both public domain and commercial utilizing TCP/IP protocol suite became available. By 1987, the number had grown to two hundred; in 1989, it exceeded five hundred and by the end of 1991, the Internet had grown to include some 5,000 networks in over 36 countries, serving over 700,000 host computers used by over 4,000,000 people. Over the years, there has been wave of commercialization of the Internet. Originally, commercial efforts mainly comprised vendors providing the basic networking products, and service providers offering the connectivity and basic Internet services. The Internet has now become almost a "commodity" service, and much of the latest attention has been on the use of this global information infrastructure for support of other commercial services. This has been tremendously accelerated by the widespread and rapid adoption of browsers and the World Wide Web technology, allowing users easy access to information linked throughout the globe. New products developments in technology are readily accessible as downloads that are providing increasingly sophisticated information services on top of the basic Internet data communications.
