 Summary: Origin and evolution of the Internet

Starting with a brief history of how it was taking shape what we know today internet,
followed by the impact it has had in important areas such as in business, emerging new
techniques adopted to attract more market, be more competitive and market in a way
effective adding value to the company and directing it to success.

On the other hand, mention is made of the great milestones of the Internet over time, which
have contributed to the development and evolution of societies and have set the tone for
new creations.

WHAT IS THE INTERNET?

It is a neologism of English formed by the abbreviation of the term International Network
of Computers whose meaning in Spanish is "International Computer Network" or "Network
of networks".

Some of the ways in which you can access the Internet is through a telephone line, cable
connection, satellite connection or connection to wireless networks called wireless.
(Meanings, (s.f.))

ORIGINS

The origins of the Internet go back to the year 1958 when the Department of Defense of the
United States which was responsible for the development of new technologies for military
use created the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known by its acronym
DARPA. This agency was created as a technological consequence of the Cold War in
response to the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik. (Wikipedia The free encyclopedia,
2015) The mission of DARPA was to develop and provide technological applications for
the defense of the United States, becoming this years later responsible for a large part of the
research in computers and innovative communications during the next years.

In the 1960s, the United States set itself the task of creating a military communications
network through which information could be obtained from anywhere in the country in case
they suffered a Russian attack and whose main objective was to continue operating in case
that some of its communications nodes were destroyed.

This network was created by Internet pioneer Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider, professor at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962, and in which he described his concept
of "Galactic Network" in which he imagined a set of interconnected computers through
which Everyone could access information from anywhere in the world quickly.

In 1969, with the aim of promoting research and technological development, the first
connection was made between the computers of the Universities of Stanford and UCLA.
The latter was selected to be the first node of ARPANET and these were communicated
through the telephone lines ; This connection marks the birth of ARPANET, which was the
embryo of what is now known as the Internet. This is how the trajectory of the Internet
begins.

At first the network was made up of only 4 computers, those of the aforementioned
universities, and later that of the University of California at Santa Bárbara and another at
the University of Utah. The network was growing until it reached linking after two. years a
total of 15 computers between different universities and research centers. (FOR BOOKS,
(s.f.))

In 1972, a change was finally made in which DARPA transferred the ARPANET network
to the Defense Communications Agency for use as an operational network, and in that same
year the first public demonstration of this network was made at the International Computer
Communication Conference (ICCC).

After that fact, in 1980 the US Army adopts as a standard the TCP / IP protocol that allows
all computers to communicate with each other regardless of hardware differences or the
platform being compatible with any operating system, in the same way Start sharing
Internet-based DARPA technology and lead to separation between military and non-
military communities. (Geocities, (s.f.))

This was one of the most important challenges of the Internet since it required that all hosts
could connect simultaneously without having the need to communicate through special
mechanisms.
In 1981 the IBM company announced its first personal computer and by 1985 the internet
was already an established technology.
In 1989 Tim Berners Lee directed a search for a data storage and retrieval system, being
between 1990-1991 when the World Wide Web (Web of worldwide scope) was launched
as a tool for the search and transmission of information which allows that the user can put
his page in the network and make links to any of the documents that are in it, in this way
the web pages are linked to each other within a website and can establish a connection to
other websites carrying the user from one server to another are required to type any route.
(Lamarca, 2013)

In the following years appears the first browser produced by Marc Andreesen called
"Mosaic" which allowed more easily access to the WWW, then emerges Netscape. In 1995
Microsoft introduced its Windows 95 operating system, this being the first web browser
version of Internet Explorer.

A FUGAZ TRAVEL IN THE INTERNET HISTORY 1998-2015

In 1998, Google was born revolutionizing the way people found information online. This is
formed as part of a PhD project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Stanford University. In
this year the history of the Internet changes radically reached the million users.
In the year 2000 50 million users are infected by the first massive virus in history called
ILOVEYOU.
In 2001 he created the largest collective encyclopedia of the network.
In 2003 Safari, Myspace, Linkedin, Skype, WordPress and iTunes Store are launched on
the market.
In 2004 Gmail, Facebook, Flickr and Vimeo are born,
In the year 2005, the internet reaches one billion users, this being also an important year
due to the birth of YouTube.
In 2007 Apple launched the first cell phone with the ability to connect to the Internet.
In 2008 Google Chrome is launched
Between 2010 and 2012, Instagram and Pinterest social networks were born.
In 2012, there were already nearly 2.4 billion Internet users.
In 2014 WhatsApp was born and until 2015 it has more than 800 million users.

THE INTERNET IN COMPANIES

At present, the use of the internet has become a basic tool for the proper functioning of
organizations. This allows us to access information quickly from anywhere in the world and
on any subject.

The companies make use of cantidades to facilitate their work and as a fundamental part
Emotional cantidades Emotionalouldppropriate AllTravels.

This network offers companies suppliers in almost all existing services of different
industries around the world as well as the benefit of having a greater participation in the
market, reducing distribution and sales costs, errors, time, etc. (Pelaez, 2012)

The Internet is essential for organizations to survive today because it is of great help for
decision making, for the realization of competitive strategies, problem solving among other
activities, enabling the information to be transmitted correctly.

In the same way, it works as a massive advertising medium that is in effect 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, promoting communication between suppliers and customers, resulting in
an increase in these and consequently sales volume.
