Internet and World Wide Web

• Which came first - Internet or WWW?


The Internet
• Internet is a network of interconnected
computers that is now global
• Internet born in 1969 - called ARPANET
• 1969 ARPANET was connection of
computers at UCLA, Stanford, UCSB,
Univ. of Utah
• Advanced Research Projects Agency's
Wide Area Network was established by
the US Dept. of Defense in the 1960s
What is WWW?

 collection of public websites that are connected to


the internet worldwide together with the client
computers which include PC, laptops and mobile
devices
Internet - 1970s

• 1972 - Telnet developed as a way to connect


to remote computer
• 1972 – Email introduced
– 1977 - U. Wisconsin has first “large” Email system -
100 users
• 1973 - ARPANET goes international
• 1973 - File Transfer Protocol (FTP) established
Internet - 1980s
• 1984 - Domain Name Server introduced
– allows naming of hosts, no longer numeric
• 1986 - NSFNET created
– in 1990, becomes backbone of modern
Internet when ARPANET is decommissioned
– Completely privatized by 1995
– 56 K interconnection initially, increased
rapidly
Internet 1990s

• 1991 - Tim Berners-Lee releases World Wide


Web!
– TBL is computer programmer at CERN, a physics
lab in Europe (new book Weaving the Web by TBL)
• 1993 - Mosaic (becomes Netscape) designed
by graduate students at University of Illinois
– first point-and-click browser
– later developed into Netscape Navigator
• These are the two most significant events in the formation of the WWW
21 Century – File Sharing
st

• Internet allowed sharing of simple


information
• FTP was initial file sharing system, but a
bit hard to use
• WWW advanced type of info allowed, but
not designed for file-sharing
• Napster, KaZaA, Morpheus and LimeWire
are file-sharing.
Napster
• Napster was a music sharing community
• Used a central server to catalog who had
what
• This central server violated music
industry’s copyrights
• Napster now screens transfers to see if
they are copyrighted material
Peer to Peer
• Peer to Peer (P2P) file sharing
• LimeWire is good one
• KaZaA is faster and more advanced
• Kazaa Lite is preferred by many
• Morpheus is modified KaZaA for Music City
Network – really messed up these days
• Each person has a “node” that advertises his or
her files
• Supernodes – compile lists of what nodes have
Collapse of the Information Economy
• Huge economic growth in late 1990s was
due to “prospecting” on up-and-coming
Internet companies
• Most were never profitable
– Amazon.com just posted its first Annual Profit
(2003) since going public in 1997!
• Major Internet Backbone Providers
(Worldcom, Global Crossing) are
struggling
How data travels the Internet:
Modes of Transmission
• circuit switching - method of linking the
telephones together
• packet switching - message is broken into
smaller parts(packets) which are set
independently, and then reassemble at the
ultimate destination
Comparison Between Circuit
Switching and Packet Switching
Switching Method Pros Cons Key Features
- decicated channed can
cause delay since the line is
unavailale until one side Offers the capability of
Dedicated transmission
disconnects storing messages temporarily
Circuit Switching channels that is reserved until
to reduce network
it is disconnected. - uses dedicated physical link congestion.
between the sending and
receiving devices

Types of Packets:
- Packets can be lost while
taking alternate routes to the - Datagram packets:
receiver independently sent and can
Packets can be rerouted
take different routes
around network congestion, - Message is divided into
Packet Switching throughout the nework
which allows efficient use of packets which contains
network bandwidth source and destination - Virtual circuit: uses logical
information connection between the
source and destination
devices
Web Technologies
• HyperText Markup Language (html)
- standard markup language used for creating web
pages
- classified as the set of markup symbols or codes
appended in a file intended for presentation on a
browser
• HyperText Transfer Protocol(http)
- set of standards allowing users of the www to
interchange information seen on web pages
• Web servers and web browsers
- an application software for recovering, presenting ,
and navigating information resources on the www
4 Stages of communication in the
web
• connection
• request
• response
• close

How to make a web page
• Define the two basic steps required in
making a web page
Create an HTML File
Upload file to server
What computers do on the Internet
• servers - stores information and sends this infor to the clients
upon request
• client - computer or device asking information from the server
• Active Directory Domain Services(AD DS) - computer which holds
user accounts, organizational units and application services
• domain name system(DNS) - the phonebook of the internet;
translates the web address into a series of numbers(e.g.
192.134.31.12)
• Internet Protocol (IP) address - unique address that identifies the
device connected to the network
• router - device that receive, analyze, and send incoming packets
to its network; acts as a point of entry of your devices to the WAN.
IP Address
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP) -
network management protocol used to automate
the process of configuring devices on the
network so that the device can communicate
with other IP networks
• Static - manually configuring the device to
communicate to the devices on the network
Searching information on the web
• web administrator - person who manages
and maintains the website

search tools:
1. subject directories - developed and
maintained by humans
2. search engine - uses spiders or bots that
searched the internet which automatically
fetches related web pages
Group Activity
• Imagine life without Internet. How is it like? Now imagine
the future with everything going online. How is it like?
• Create a meme showing the 2 scenarios or either of the
2 scenarios. Make sure it is your groups original
creation.
• A group representative will post this to his/her timeline.
Make it public.
• Let your instructor and classmates comment and/or react
on it.
• Copy the link and pm it to me.
• Deadline is on Friday, March 24, 2021 @5pm.
