Today I would like to talk about all the topics about the evolution of the internet, but also of ARPANET Project, Packet Networking, World Wide Web and some Statistics.
The first thing we have to know is that before 1957 computers only worked on one task at a time.

The Internet - Chapter 1
A C O N N E C T E D W O R L D
Every day we send e-mails, make calls over the internet and discuss topics we
take an interest in. Even our banking is going virtual.
But what we take for granted today was only a vague idea fifty years ago.
In order to understand how we got this far let's go back to 1957, when everything
began.
Before 1957 computers only worked on one task at a time.
This is called batch processing. Of course, this was quite ineffective.
On October 4th 1957, during the Cold War the first unmanned satellite, Sputnik 1,
was sent into orbit by the Soviet Union.
The DARPA planned a large-scale computer network in order to accelerate
knowledge transfer and avoid the doubling up of already existing research.
This network would become the Arpanet, in 1966...
5. ARPANET Project
Backbone of the Internet
...During to all these years until 1990, DARPA's Transmission Control
Protocol was to connect the computers through gateways and the
International Organization for Standardization designed the OSI
Reference Model.
The innovation of OSI was the attempt to standardize the network
from its ends and the channel's division into separate layers.
Finally, the TCP assimilated the preferences of the OSI Reference
Model and gave way to the TCP/IP protocol – a standard which
guaranteed compatibility between networks and finally merged
them, creating the Internet.
By February 28, 1990 the ARPANET hardware was removed, but the
Internet was up and running.
7. Packet Networking
Passing Data Around
Have you ever wondered what happens when someone in England
visits the world Science festivals webpage?
First their computer needs to ask the world science festival server for a
copy of that webpage. The computer sticks this request into a virtual
envelope called a packet, wrapped with specific information about
that request including the world Science Festival's IP address.
The computer sends this packet out of the house and below the
street via large underground copper wires.
It passes through small regional networks before ending up here at
Tellehouse North in London.
Along with trillions upon trillions of similar Journeys that happen each
and every day on this remarkable easy to take for granted Network of
Networks that we call the internet.
