2. Developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969 and was first known as the ARPANET. The original aim was to create a network that would allow users of a research computer at one university to "talk to" research computers at other universities . In 1974, researchers Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn introduced the idea of an Internet Protocol Suite, commonly known as  TCP/IP  (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). The two protocols provide a framework for computers to send and receive data over disparate , interconnected networks . Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the language a computer uses to access the internet. It consists of a suite of protocols designed to establish a network of networks to provide a host with access to the internet. History of Internet

3. As the concept of internetworking gained momentum in the 1980s, the National Science Foundation established the National Science Foundation Network ( NSFNET ). The NSFNET became a  backbone  for the internet and essentially created a “ network of networks ” that expanded network access beyond the Department of Defense’s earlier ARPANET. History of Internet

4. It wasn’t until 1989, however, when British computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee proposed the idea of interconnecting digital content as well as networks that people began to appreciate the potential of the internet. In his proposal, Berners-Lee outlined the concept of  hypertext  and a new markup language to create an information-sharing system. This system used HyperText Markup Language ( HTML ) to create the web pages and  HTTP  ( HyperText Transfer Protocol) to transmit the data . Mosaic , the first  browser , marked another significant milestone in the popularization of the World Wide Web. Its graphical user interface ( GUI ), support for images, and intuitive navigation played a crucial role in making the Internet more accessible. History of Internet

5. Decade Key Internet Development 1960s Development of internetwork communication protocols by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the US. 1970s TCP/IP becomes the standard protocol for routing packets within and across networks. 1980s The term “Internet” is used to describe interconnected networks. 1990s HTML transforms the concept of the World Wide Web into a reality. 2000s User-generated content and mobile devices revolutionize how people access and interact with the Web. 2010s High-speed broadband internet enables the transformation of cloud computing into a business strategy. 2020s Covid-19 restrictions highlight the importance of treating the Internet as a utility by facilitating the shift to remote work, online learning, and virtual events. Development in decades

6. Interconnected networks Sometimes called simply “The net” Internet is a means of connecting a computer to any other computer located anywhere in the world via dedicated routers and servers. A server is a device that makes information available online.  A router is a device that routes information from one place to another .. A  router  is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. When two computers are connected over the Internet, they can send and receive all kinds of information such as text, graphics, voice, video, and computer programs. a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of  interconnected  networks using standardized communication protocols . Internet

7. The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. www= Definition

8. Internet is a means of connecting a computer to any other computer anywhere in the world . The internet, short for "interconnected networks," is a vast global network of computers and computer networks that are connected through various means, including wired and wireless connections. It enables the exchange of data and information across the world, allowing individuals and organizations to communicate, access resources, and share information. Definitions:

9. Broadband Internet : This includes DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), cable, fiber -optic, and satellite connections. Broadband connections offer high-speed internet access suitable for various online activities. Dial-up Internet : Although less common now, dial-up connections use a standard telephone line to access the internet . It offers slower speeds compared to broadband. Mobile Internet: Mobile internet is accessed through cellular networks, and it's widely used on smartphones and tablets. It includes 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, each offering different speeds and capabilities. Wireless Internet : This includes Wi-Fi, which provides wireless access to the internet within a limited range. Wi-Fi is commonly used in homes, businesses, Universities, educational Institutions, and public places. Satellite Internet: Satellite internet relies on communication satellites to provide internet access, making it suitable for remote or rural areas. Types of Internet Connections :

10. The internet has transformed education in numerous ways, making learning more accessible, flexible, and diverse. school system: 1 ) student admission, 2) academic evaluation, 3) classroom teaching-learning activities, 4) school administration and management. Moreover, it is used: 1) as a teaching machine, 2) as a source of information, 3) as a communication tool, 4) as a support to teacher and students., and 5) as an artificial intelligence tool . Access to Information: The internet provides an extensive repository of information, allowing students and educators to access a vast array of resources such as articles, research papers, textbooks, and multimedia content. Online Learning Platforms : Educational websites and platforms offer a wide range of courses, from primary to higher education. Students can access lectures, assignments, and resources online, enabling self-paced learning. Research and Information : The internet is a vast repository of information, making research easier for students and educators. Online libraries, academic journals, and search engines provide access to a wealth of knowledge. Communication : Teachers and students can communicate through email, discussion forums, and video conferencing tools, allowing for remote learning, collaboration, and feedback. Digital Resources : E-books, educational videos, interactive simulations, and open educational resources (OERs) are readily available on the internet, enhancing the learning experience. Collaborative Tools : Online collaboration tools like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 facilitate group projects and document sharing, promoting teamwork and productivity. Uses of Internet in Education

11. Assessment and Feedback : Many educational institutions use online platforms for conducting quizzes, exams, and assessments. These tools provide instant feedback and automate grading processes, saving time for educators and providing immediate feedback to students. Remote Learning : The internet allows students to participate in virtual classrooms and access educational content from anywhere, making it particularly useful during times of crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Professional Development : Educators can engage in online professional development, workshops, and webinars to enhance their teaching skills and knowledge. Global Learning : The internet connects students and educators worldwide, enabling cross-cultural experiences and global collaborations. Education Management : Educational institutions use the internet for administrative tasks, such as enrollment , scheduling, and record-keeping, improving efficiency. E-Learning and Online Courses: The internet offers a plethora of online courses, from MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) to specialized programs. These courses provide flexibility in terms of scheduling and location, making education more accessible to a global audience . Uses of Internet in Education

12. Distance Learning : The internet enables students to earn degrees and certificates from institutions around the world without physically attending classes. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who cannot relocate or have other commitments. Collaborative Learning: Online platforms facilitate collaborative projects and discussions among students and educators, fostering a sense of community and allowing for diverse perspectives. Digital Libraries: Digital libraries and online archives make historical documents, rare books, and other resources accessible to students and researchers, regardless of their location.
