The internet originated from Cold War efforts to create a decentralized communication network, leading to the development of ARPANET in 1969. The establishment of TCP/IP protocols and the World Wide Web in the 1990s facilitated the internet's expansion and accessibility, transforming it into a vital part of modern life. Today, while the internet enhances various aspects of society, it also presents challenges such as cybersecurity and misinformation.

01 The Seeds Of Connection


SEED OF CONNECTION

THE HISTORY OF INTERNET


The internet's origins lie in the Cold War's anxieties. The US
Department of Defense sought a decentralized communication
network that could withstand attack. This led to the Advanced
Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) in 1969.
ARPANET connected research institutions, pioneering packet
switching and laying the foundation for the internet's core
principles of distributed communication and resilience. Early
visionaries like J.C.R. Licklider foresaw the potential of
interconnected computers to foster collaboration and
knowledge sharing.

BUILDING THE NETWORK

THE HISTORY OF INTERNET


ARPANET's success spurred the need for standardized
communication protocols. TCP/IP, developed by Robert Kahn
and Vint Cerf, emerged as the dominant protocol suite,
providing the common language for computers to
communicate across networks. This standardization was
crucial for the internet's expansion beyond ARPANET, allowing
different networks to interconnect seamlessly. The
development of the Domain Name System (DNS) simplified
addressing, making the internet more user-friendly.
THE RISE OF USERS

THE HISTORY OF INTERNET


confined to academic and research circles, the internet
gradually became accessible to a wider audience. The invention
of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN
revolutionized user interaction with the internet. The web's
graphical interface and hypertext links made navigating and
accessing information intuitive, fueling the internet's explosive
growth in the 1990s. The development of web browsers like
Mosaic and Netscape further democratized access.

THE HISTORY OF INTERNET


the internet has become an indispensable part of modern life,
transforming communication, commerce, education, and
entertainment. It powers social media, e-commerce, and
countless other applications. However, its rapid growth has
also brought challenges. Issues like cybersecurity,
misinformation, privacy concerns, and the digital divide require
constant attention and innovative solutions. The internet's
impact continues to evolve, raising new questions about its role
in society.
