History of the internet

The internet’s origins can be traced back to extensive research that was commissioned by the government of the United States, mainly in the 1960s to build a fault-tolerant and robust communication through computer networks. However, there are other authoritative sources, which state that the internet history began with the electronic computer development, which took place in the 1950s. These sources state that the initial packet-networking concept originated in numerous computer science laboratories mainly in France, Great Britain, and in the United States.

In addition, in the 1960s, the US Department of Defense awarded various contracts for the development of packet network systems, which included the ARPANET development, which was the first network to utilize the IP (Internet Protocol). These developments have gradually advanced to what is currently referred to as the internet. The science that is associated with the internet involves the linking of billions of interconnected devices, which are able to communicate with each other, as well as sharing information.
