  • The Creation of ARPA

    The Department of Defense created ARPA to compete against the soviets in technological advancement, it was designed to create scientists and engineers together.

  • The Creating of Packet Switching

    The Arpanet was growing and a more effective method of communication needed to be implemented among the computers. Packet Switching filled the communication gap.

  • The Record Keepers

    With the excessive explosion of ARPA and other networks, there needed to be a way of storing all of the transmitted data. Universities across the country stored the records for the networks.

  • The Creation of TCP/IP

    Due to the vast expansion of networks, creating a universal packet was infeasible, to bridge the gap Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Control Protocol were created.TCP standardized the packets across the network and IP created web addressed for the users.

  • The End of ARAPANET

    With the extreme progress of ARPA, The Defense Department realized that the original goal of ARPA was accomplished and decided to drop the ARPANET.

  • ISP Commercial Emailing

    Commercial emailing was finally being rolled out across the world. The process had a huge impact on the ability to connect to other individuals, instead of the traditional methods.

  • The Creation of The Web

    Tim Berners-Lee started creating what is now known as the web. He wanted to use hyperlinks to organize vast amounts of information for a specific user

  • The Beginning of NSFNET

    NSFNET replaced ARPANET as the backbone of the internet. (National Science Foundation)

  • The Fall of NSFNET and The Rise of ISP

    NSFNET shut down and handed the structure of the internet to the ISPs.

  • Dial-up

    Dial-up was implemented to replace the standardized communication system. Dial-up was intended to use the phone lines as communication waves for computers

  • The Dot.com War

    With the creation of the internet and the strong commercial potential it occupied, start-up companies were popping up everywhere. Many investors wanted a piece of the internet pie.

  • Dotcom Bubble

  • Broadband

    Broadband was introduced has a more reliable and faster form of interaction on the web. Dial up was too slow and people wanted alternative means of using the web.

  • Datacenters

    With the overload of users, support computers needed to be activated to harness all of the material on the internet. Datacenters are occupied by any entity on the internet.

  • Algorithms

    Algorithms are similar to hyperlinks, in the sense of the compiling of information, but in regards to the site. Algorithms are set calculations within a site that determine what you want to see and interact with the site.
