What is Communication?
What wiki says?
Communication (from Latin commnicre, meaning
"to share") is the activity of conveying information
through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or
information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or
behavior. It is the meaningful exchange of
information between two or a group of living
creatures. Pragmatics defines communication as
any sign-mediated interaction that follows
combinatorial, context-specific and content-
coherent rules. Communicative competence
designates the capability to install intersubjective
interactions, which means that communication is an
inherent social interaction.

What wiki says?
A computer network or data network is a
telecommunications network that allows to
exchange data. In computer networks,
networked computing devices (network
nodes) pass data to each other along data
connections. The connections (network
links) between nodes are established using
either cable media or wireless media. The
best-known computer network is the
Internet.

History
How it all began..
History
1960 - AT&T designed its Dataphone,
the first commercial modem. Outside
manufacturers incorporated Bell
Laboratories digital data sets into
commercial products.
1964 - Online transaction processing
made its debut in IBMs SABRE
reservation system, set up for American
Airlines. Using telephone lines, linked
2,000 terminals in 65 cities to a pair of
IBM 7090 computers, delivering data
on any flight in less than three seconds.
History
1966 - John van Geen of the Stanford
Research Institute vastly improved the
acoustically coupled modem. His
receiver reliably detected bits of data
despite background noise heard over
long-distance phone lines.
1970 - Citizens and Southern National
Bank in Valdosta, Ga., installed the
countrys first automatic teller machine.
1970 - Department of Defense
established four nodes on the ARPANET:
the University of California Santa Barbara
and UCLA, SRI International, and the
University of Utah
History
1971 - The first e-mail is sent.
Ray Tomlinson of the research
firm Bolt, Beranek and
Newman sent the first e-mail
when he was supposed to be
working on a different project
1973 - Robert Metcalfe
devised the Ethernet method
of network connection at the
Xerox Palo Alto Research
Center.
History
1975 - Telenet, the first commercial
packet-switching network and
civilian equivalent of ARPANET,
was born. The brainchild of Larry
Roberts, Telenet linked customers
in seven cities. Telenet represented
the first value-added network, or
VAN so named because of the
extras it offered beyond the basic
service of linking computers.
1976 - The Queen of England
sends first her e-mail. Elizabeth II.
History
1979 - USENET established. USENET
was invented as a means for
providing mail and file transfers
using a communications standard
known as UUCP. It was
developed by graduate students
Tom Truscott, Jim Ellis, and Steve
Bellovin. It would go on to
become one of the main areas
for large-scale interaction for
interest groups through the 1990s.
1983 - The ARPANET splits into the
ARPANET and MILNET.
History
1985 - The modern Internet
gained support when the
National Science
foundation formed the
NSFNET
1988 -Robert Morris 23
worm flooded the
ARPANET.

History
1990 - The World Wide Web was
born when Tim Berners-Lee, a
researcher at CERN, the high-energy
physics laboratory in Geneva,
developed HyperText Markup
Language. HTML
1993 - Mosaic was the first
commercial web browser that
allowed graphical access to
content on the internet. Designed
by Eric Bina and Marc Andreessen
at the University of Illinoiss National
Center for Supercomputer
Applications, Mosaic was originally
designed for a Unix system running
X-windows

OSI vs TCPIP model
There are two network models that
describe how networks 'work'. The OSI
Model, the older model, was designed for
the OSI protocol stack. While different
organizations were battling over
standards, Vint Cerf and Bob Khan
worked out the TCP/IP software from
which the TCP/IP Model was co-designed.
