History Internet Service
The Internet first started in the 1960s as a way for government. In the 1960s, computers were bulky and immobile. In order to use the information stored in any computer, people had to go to the location of the computer or send computer tapes through the traditional postal system. Another catalyst for the formation of the Internet is the warming up of the Cold War. The launch of the Sputnik satellite by the Soviet Union prompted the US Department of Defense to consider how to still disseminate information after a nuclear attack. This eventually led to the formation of ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency Network), which eventually evolved into the Internet as we now know it. To this end, other networks have been created to provide information sharing.
January 1, 1983, is considered the official beginning of the Internet. Prior to this, various computer networks did not have a standard way of communicating with each other. A new communication protocol was established, called Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). This allows different types of computers on different networks to “talk” to each other. On January 1, 1983, ARPANET and National Defense Data Network were officially changed to TCP/IP standards, and the Internet was born. All networks can now be connected through a common language.
