Hello, here I bring the History of Internet

The Internet start us back to the 60. In the Cold War, the U.S. military create a system solely with the objective that in the unlikely event of a Russian attack, they could have access to military information from anywhere in the country.
This network was established in 1969 and was called ARPANET. In principle, the network had 4 computers distributed among different universities. Two years later, I had about 40 computers connected. Such was the growth of the network that your communication system became obsolete. Then two researchers created the TCP / IP, which became the standard of communications within the computer network (currently still using this protocol).

ARPANET continued to grow and open to the world, and anyone with academic or research purposes could access the network.
Military functions dissociated themselves from ARPANET and MILNET went to a new network created by the United States.
The NSF (National Science Foundation) creates its own computer network called NSFNET, which later absorbed ARPANET, creating a large network with scientific and academic purposes.
The development of networks was abysmal, and create new open-access networks that join later NSFNET, forming the embryo of what we now know as the Internet.

In 1985 the Internet was already an established technology, but known by few.
The author William Gibson had a revelation: the term "cyberspace."
At that time the network was basically textual, so the author was based on video games. Over time the word "cyberspace" ended up being synonymous with the Internet.
The development of NSFNET was such that by the year 1990 and had about 100,000 servers.

The European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN), Tim Berners Lee led the search for a storage and retrieval. Berners Lee took up the idea of Ted Nelson (a project called "Xanadu") to use hyperlinks. Robert Caillau who cooperated with the project, much as in 1990 decided to put a name to the system and called it World Wide Web (WWW) or World Wide Web.

The new formula allowed to link information in a logical and through networks. The content is programmed into a hypertext language "tags" to assign a function to each piece of content. Then a computer program, an interpreter, were able to read those tags despeglar information. This interpretation became known as "browser" or "browser."

Marc Andreesen in 1993 produced the first version of the browser "Mosaic", which allowed more naturally access to the WWW.
The graphical interface beyond what was expected and the ease with which the program could handle the network open to laymen. Shortly after he led the creation Andreesen Netscape program.

Following on from then the Internet started to grow faster than other media, becoming what we all now know.

Some of the services available on the Internet than the Web are remote access to other machines (SSH and telnet), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), email (SMTP), chat conversations (IMSN Messenger, ICQ, YIM, AOL, Jabber), file transfer (P2P, P2M, direct download, etc.).
