Major Events in the Development of the Internet

History of the Internet

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIQjrMHTv4

The U.S. government created the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) in February 1958, in order to maintain its lead in technology. ARPANET was developed in 1966. For the first connections between computes, the Network Working Group developed the Network Control Protocol, which was then replaced by the more efficient Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The specific feature of TCP is the verification of the file transfer. DARPA’s Transmission Control Protocol was to connect computers through gateways. The International Organization for Standardization designed the OSI Reference Model. The OSI attempted to standardize the network from its ends and the channel’s division into separate layers. TCP assimilated the preferences of the OSI Reference Model and gave way to the TCP/IP protocol, a standard which guaranteed compatibility between networks and finally merged them creating the Internet. By February 28, 1990 the ARPANET hardware was removed, but the Internet was up and running.

The Internet in 2020

Web 2.0 changed users of information also to creators of content. While the number of users and content is growing faster, the Internet is steadily moving from computers to mobile devices. New technologies are also changing the way we use the net (i.e. intelligent devices). For the new Internet to be usable, semantic technologies need to be integrated. All electronic devices will be active participants in the future Internet also known as the “Internet of Things.” For example, real world objects like cars will be connected through services, to the business systems and operations in order to provide higher visibility, which can lead to improvements in business operations (i.e. manufacturing). The future Internet will reorganize publicity, anonymity, and privacy so that everybody can understand how much trust can and should be extended to others. New networks will need to be created, which will be able to integrate all kinds of devices. The digital information revolution is upon us to be built around an Internet of services, which will depend on mobile Internet as well as an Internet of things.

With just 140 characters, Twitter has become the largest real-time conversation ever created. Twitter provides a global dialogue where people can talk about their interests including your business. Businesses can use Twitter by simply creating a user handle and profile that reflect the identity of your business then monitor trends, watch your industry, and when you’re ready join the conversation. Businesses can help a customer as soon as they’re in need by using an @Reply. Brief Vine videos can be created that can provide a behind-the-scene look at your business. Retweets can also be used to create promotions that attract new business. A business’s follower base can increase by promoting their account in front of the right people at the right time.

Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect at Home allows patients to make their appointments, email their doctors, and look up medical information. For example, emailing a doctor allows for patients to avoid phone tagging or having to wait for response; patients can get more timely responses through this option. The health library allows for patients to look up medical information without having to search the Web. HealthConnect is done at the patient’s convenience. Approximately 3 million members actively use My Health Manager on kp.org, sending more than 600,000 emails to their providers every month. This technology has led to a reduction in office visits and phone calls among users of secure email. Additionally, 85% of patients are extremely satisfied with secure emailing and believe it creates a more personal relationship with their physicians.

The Internet of Everything is Action

The Internet of Everything: Relevant and Valuable Connections

https://youtu.be/Mfrw9As8cuc

The Internet has become an Internet of things with billions of connected devices. We are getting ready to move from an Internet of Things to an Internet of Everything: a network of networks of billion and possibly trillions of connected devices, objects, and people. This process will make network connections more valuable than before. For example, your healthcare provider will be able to monitor vital signs remotely from small washable sensors warn in your clothes. The connected devices and objects in the Internet of Everything will have new capabilities like context-awareness, increased processing power and energy independence. These devices will be able to transmit high-level information and knowledge in richer formats for better decision- making. It has been predicted that people will become nodes of the Internet transmitting both static information and a constant stream of data. The goal of the Internet of Everything is to benefit humanity.
