Notes de l'éditeur
- Presentation held at the Arkiv & Research 97 workshop, Stockholm. You are in the interesting position of being doubly affected by the Internet revolution. Your business, being media, will undergo complete rehaul over the coming years. And your job of information gathering and spreading, will likewise change completely.
- AltaVista runs on Digitals biggest computer they ever built. The main server has 6GB main memory and 210 GB disk and 10 processors. Currently, normal phone calls cost 4.50 Swedish crowns per minute.
- But is the Internet a qualitative revolution? First we need to understand what we mean by the Internet. That the Internet is based on TCP/IP and is packet-switched is more a historical and technical coincidence. The significance is that a critical mass of individuals have access to computers, and that these computers can all talk to each other using a common protocol. The consequences of this achievement are only slowly being revealed, but in principle this is a natural evolution of the computer.
- first experiments in 1966 ARPA requested quotations in 1968 packet switching was widely doubted , but was desired for its fault tolerance . One objective was to build a system that could withstand any systematic attack on central nodes, such as from a nuclear strike. (the van Johnson story) AT&T was particularly pessimistic! 4 computers on ARPANET in 1969 in 1973 an effort began to connect ARPANET with mobile networks using synchronous satellites (SATNET) and mobile packet radio (PRNET), this effort became known as “internetting” part of this research effort resulted in Ethernet (in Hawaii) July 1977 a four-network demonstration linked ARPANET, SATNET, and the PRNET. TCP/IP version 4 came in 1978. the new internet protocolls, generally called TCP/IP, began to be developed in the early 70s , and ARPANET switched to them in January 1983 supercomputer centers programme in 1986 ( Senator Gore’s legislation) led to the NFSNET, which remained the backbone until April 1995 experimental electronic mail relay put into operation in 1989, interconnecting MCI Mail with the Internet. Compuserve, ATTMail, and Sprintmail followed shortly
- According to (ftp://ftp.nw.com/zone), in january 96 there were 9.5 million hosts . Growth rate is 20% per quarter. Quantitatively, the success of the Internet is obvious. Less obvious is that the growth has been fairly stable. Note that the figures of the later half of the diagram are more accurate. As Gordon Bell has put it, when things get into the millions, people notice. Latest figures are for july 1996: 12,881,000 hosts.
- The WWW was conceived by Tim Berners-Lee in March 1989 , in a CERN proposal. It first aimed at managing information about accelerators and experiments at CERN. The concept of “web” derived from an observation of how new staff at CERN were introduced to the work structure - by being given a few hints on who to talk to. At CERN there is and was a large turnover, several thousand people are involved yet seldom stay longer than 2 years. Also improves on problems with hierarchical data structures (such as file systems) and keyword based systems (such as bibliographic databases). “ Hypertext” was coined in the 60s by Ted Nelson . A more accurate label today might be “Hypermedia”. Other than using TCP/IP, a key idea is a uniform naming scheme that includes the service name. Also, in HTTP the client can send a list of the representations it understands, and the server reply appropriately. NCSA Mosaic came in 1992 , and was instantly popular. Netscape Communications was formed in 1994. There is not really any new technology in the Web concept, just a good combination of ideas.
- Matthew Gray used the first web “spider”, that he wrote in the spring of 1993, to locate as many web servers as possible. Today there are over internetwork 600000 web servers (january 1997), according to Netcraft. The dotted Lines are my own estimates based on Netcraft and Internet society data.
