Since this chapter discussed internet
communication so in depth I wanted to do more research and understand how the
internet came about. The website I found
game me some clarity and seems to be a pretty reliable source. The website is actually developed by the
Internet Society or ISOC. They were
founded in 1992 to help provide internet standards, education and promote
policy. It is hard to believe that the
concept of the internet goes all the way back to 1962 when J.C.R. Licklider of
MIT was developing his “Galactic Network” concept. He envisioned a global network of computers
that would allow every to share data and access programs. By 1969 the ARPNET was up and the internet
was born. This is a pretty in depth
article and gives a great overview of the various stages of development up to
now.
