1. Who developed the Internet?
The Internet's first developers were the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the USA defense department. They created the first network to ever exist, known as ARPANET.
Later on, In 1973, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) carried on with the research and improved the technology. This new system allowed for internetting (connecting multiple networks), and thus, the Internet was created.
2. Why was the Internet developed?
2. Why was the Internet developed?
The Internet was developed as a system for communication. The earliest model of the internet (ARPA) consisted of a non-centralized network in which many nodes were connected with others with the purpose of forming different pathways for communication. This model was the first one to be able to withstand a nuclear attack so communications wouldn't be lost.
The internet has only gotten better at communication and file sharing since then.
3. Who created the email address format?
The email address format was created by Ray Tomlinson, a Cambridge computer engineer.
4. When was the public allowed to use the Wide World Web?
The World Wide Web became available for public use for the first time on 6th August 1992.5. Who is Tim Berners-Lee? Tell me a little about him. Where is he from? etc...
Tim Berners-Lee is known as the father of the Internet. This man was born in London and he is a physics graduate from Oxford University (1976) and the director of the World Wide Web Consortium, which developed the World Wide Web.
Along with Vinton Cerf, who is considered the other father of the Internet, he created the HTML code that would allow us to design web pages. The creation of this resource is attributed to Tim Berners-Lee since he was the primary author of the HTML
Among his and his team's most important creations, there are also the HTTP and the URLs, that were developed between 1989 and 1991. Combined with the HTML code, these would set the technical standards for a website and the Internet.
