History of the Internet-and the Cold War


The internet has changed the world. The impact of the internet can be seen everywhere around the world. In this article you will get a brief history of the internet. History of the internet is something I think people who are involved, especially those online marketers must know. If you want to get with any kind of invention you must know its reason for existence. From the internet, the information age of marketing, sharing of ideas from individual to corporation has emerged. Communication is at a lightning speed is now possible among the population of the world.


Many of us remember the dot com explosion and its crash that took place in the 1990s. Before then the internet can trace its root more 40 years ago. The space race between the Soviet Union and the U.S and creation of the atomic bomb all contributed to the invention of the internet. During the cold war, the U.S military realized its normal communication technologies like the telephone was not safe and could be attacked by the Soviets. The military realized using a central exchange which connects telephones was vulnerable because if the exchange stops working then you can’t make any call.


The military knew a different approach of military communication needed very quick. The military decided to invent network of computers that would carry on communication with each other even after a nuclear attacked called ARPAnet. APARnet was used for computer to send messages to one another. Over the years it grew into a world wide of network of interconnected computers which became known as the internet.
Many people don’t the internet was not invented in the 1990s, but the 1960s at the height of the cold war. You might say some conflict can bring about big changes among mankind. Some people even construed that Al Gore invented the internet known as the information highway. Is that really true? Al Gore was not even in congress when the internet was created in mid 1960. I think the point he was trying to make was, in congress he helped to push the further development of the internet.

In conclusion, the invention of the internet in the 1960s until it became known to the masses in the 1990s, the internet steadily grew its popularity, and became a great tool for government and ordinary people from around the globe. All the internet really about is a network of computers connected to each other by wires and satellites. That is what the world wide web is all about. You can learn more on this topic by doing further research of your own. Take advantage now because the internet is hear to stay.
