The document provides an overview of the history and development of the Internet, how it works, and how people use it. It discusses key people like Leonard Kleinrock, Vint Cerf, and Tim Berners-Lee who contributed to its creation. It also outlines different connection methods like dial-up, DSL, and cable, factors that affect connection speed, and security measures like firewalls and encryption that help protect users' privacy and data online.

Notes de l'éditeur
The USSR 's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA or DARPA) in February 1958 to regain a technological lead. On October 29, 1969 in Menlo Park, California ARPA made a demonstration of communication between computers, through the exchange of packets. Thus, two computers are networked, which eventually grew and became known as ARPANET. In the coming years ARPANET became the worldwide network. The word Internet is first used to describe a single global computer network that uses the protocol stack TCP / IP then ARPANET was converted to operate on the basis of TCP / IP from January 1, 1983 begins to operate using TCP / IP. In next years the network became known as the Internet. On August 6, 1991 was published the draft World Wide Web.
Definition Simply, the Internet is a group of thousands of data or computer networks that are tied together via leased lines, or radio (shortwave through light frequencies) that share a common protocol called the Internet Protocol or IP. Explosive B. The Internet has grown exponentially since its development by the Defense Department’s (D)ARPA division just over 25 years ago. News Tools C. Until recently, one of the problems with using the Internet was that you needed to know the arcane "language" of UNIX®, because most of the Internet hosts ran UNIX. You also needed to know how to use very unfriendly Internet tools like FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and Telnet. In addition, as shown in Figure 1, just a few years ago there were few accessible sites on the Internet Ease Access D. Since the Internet was started by the DoD, tight restrictions were put on who could connect to and what sort of "traffic" would be allowed on the Internet. With the DoD’s departure, hundreds of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have stepped in to provide access to the Internet.
He early work in packet switching They defined the "Internet Protocol" (IP) and participated in the development of TCP He developed HTTP to support a global hyper-text system called the World Wide Web
Ownership of the internet is a complicated issue. In theory, the internet is owned by everyone that uses it. There are many organizations, and service providers that all own pieces of the infrastructure There are, however, organizations that oversee and standardize what happens on the Internet and assign IP addresses and domain names , The Domain Name System (DNS) is the address system of the internet. Each domain name is linked to a unique IP address. Essentially, NSI was granted a monopoly of the public open domains. This monopoly gave NSI and the United States government significant control of the internet. The addition of these top level domains could lead to a more descriptive system of classification. but as the system stands today, it is difficult to tell what an individual might find at a given domain based on the domain name alone.
