 The Internet
● also called the Net,
● a worldwide collection of networks
that links millions of businesses,
government agencies, educational
institutions, and individuals.
● widely used research tool,
● provides the society with access to
global information and instant
Internet communications.
 The Internet

● a networking project started by an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. The

goal was to build a network that:
○ (1) allowed scientists at different locations to share
information and work together on military and scientific
projects and
○ (2) could function even if part of the network were
disabled or destroyed by a disaster such as a nuclear
attack.
● That network, called ARPANET, became functional in September 1969, linking
scientific and academic researchers across the United States.
 The Internet

● The original ARPANET consisted of four main computers, one each located at the
University of California at Los Angeles, the University of California at Santa Barbara,
the Stanford Research Institute, and the University of Utah. Each of these
computers served as a host on the network. A host or server is any computer that
provides services and connections to other computers on a network.
● By 1984, ARPANET had more than 1,000 individual computers linked as hosts.
Today, more than 550 million hosts connect to this network, which is known now as
the Internet.
 AccessProviders

● Access providers are categorized as ISPs, online service providers, and wireless
Internet service providers.
● An ISP (Internet service provider) is a regional or national access provider. A
regional ISP usually provides Internet access to a specific geographic area. A
national ISP is a business that provides Internet access in cities and towns
nationwide. National ISPs usually offer more services and have a larger technical
support staff than regional ISPs. Examples of national ISPs are AT&T and EarthLink.
● In addition to providing Internet access, an online service provider (OSP) also has
many members-only features such as instant messaging or their own customized
version of a Web browser. The two more popular OSPs are AOL (America Online)
and MSN (Microsoft Network). AOL also provides free access to its services to any
user with a high-speed Internet connection.
