    The Invention of the

    Internet: Connecting
    the World

    Prepared by Solomiia Sushko


    The Internet started in the 1960s as a project by
    the United States Department of Defense. They
    wanted a way for computers to communicate
    even if some were damaged during a war. In 1969,
    the first connection was made between two
    computers at UCLA and Stanford University. This
    connection was the beginning of the Internet.
    In the 1970s, engineers
    developed a set of rules
    called TCP/IP. It helped
    computers understand
    and share information
    with each other, which
    made the Internet work
    better.
    Domain Name System (DNS):
    In 1983, the DNS was created.
    It made it easier for people to
    visit websites by using names
    instead of numbers. For
    example, instead of typing an
    IP address like 192.168.0.1, we
    can type www.example.com.
    World Wide Web: In 1990, a
    scientist named Sir Tim Berners-
    Lee made the World Wide Web. It
    allowed people to create and share
    web pages. This made it easier for
    everyone to find and access
    information.
    Global Expansion: In the
    1990s, the Internet
    became available to more
    people. Internet Service
    Providers (ISPs) started
    offering connections to
    homes, and the Internet
    quickly spread
    worldwide.
    Impact on Society:
    Communication and
    Connectivity: The Internet
    changed the way we
    communicate. We can now
    send emails, chat with friends,
    and make video calls. It helps us
    stay connected with people
    from all over the world.
    Information Access: The
    Internet made it easier to
    find information. We can
    search for any topic and
    get answers quickly. It also
    provides access to online
    libraries, news, and
    educational resources.
    E-commerce and Online Services:
    The Internet opened up
    opportunities for online shopping
    and services. We can buy things
    from different countries and get
    them delivered to our doorstep.
    We can also use online banking,
    streaming services, and food
    delivery apps.
    Education and Work: Online
    learning became popular, and
    we can now take courses
    and study from home. The
    Internet also allows people to
    work remotely, which means
    they can work from
    anywhere with an Internet
    connection.
    Cultural Impact: The Internet
    has brought people from
    different cultures together.
    We can learn about different
    traditions, watch movies
    from around the world, and
    share our own culture with
    others.
    Conclusion
    In conclusion, the Internet has transformed
    the world in amazing ways. It all started as
    a way for computers to communicate, but it
    has grown into something much bigger.
    Today, we can't imagine our lives without
    the Internet. It connects us, provides
    information, and offers countless
    opportunities. The Internet truly changed the
    way we live, work, and interact with the
    world.
