This section was included for those management
professionals interested in learning more
about the basic elements of Internet technology,
such as basic terminology, history and functions
of the Internet. We try to make the sites
as easy to navigate as posible, based on
the assumption that the users of this technology
are not computer science experts but people
with business goals rather than technology
interests.
HISTORY
Is
the interconnection of computer science
networks that allows the computers to communicate
to each other.
The technology of Internet is a precursor
of which will be used by the call 'superfreeway
of información', an objective of
those who work in projects of computer science
communication that would make available
of all type of institution (for example
the educative ones). Internet would be the
first forum and the first universal library
which at any time it is possible to be entered:
it never closes his doors.
The
origin of Internet was a called project
ARPANET, sponsored by the Agency of Projects
of Investigation Outpost of the Department
of Defense of the United States. This department
had established to construct a network to
send information and that was totally independent,
of such form that the destruction of some
of the elements of the network (in a hypothetical
nuclear war) would not prevent the operation
of the network as a whole: thus the first
global network would begin. The original
goal was the development of a great network
that connected computers to great distances,
but in the middle of the 70´s it became
evident that a single network did not satisfy
the necessities with the entire world; for
that reason which at the moment is known
like Internet it is conformed by thousands
of networks that extend by all the globe.
One
of the reasons why Internet works so successful
is the absence of owners, proprietors, leaders:
nobody "runsa" the network, nobody
is "On control ", is not an only
organization who covers the costs. Internet
does not have laws, police, or army.
DATES
OF INTEREST
the:: project began the 25 of October of
1968 in the Institute of investigation of
Stanford and the 5 of December of 1969 ARPANET
was based officially connecting four places
on California and Utha.
1983 Internet becomes in fact when the ARPANET
project start being a military section and
another civilian, for this time already
existed 500 computers connected to the network.
