| | Internet History - Invention of the Internet |
 | | The Internet is a worldwide network of thousands of computers and computer networks. | | | Internet technology is a primitive precursor of the Information Superhighway, a theoretical goal of computer communications to provide schools, libraries, businesses, and homes universal access to quality information that will educate, inform, and entertain. | | | The Internet began as a computer network of ARPA (ARPAnet) that linked computer networks at several universities and research laboratories in the United States. |

| | INTERNET |
| | Internet file-transfers are becoming a new form of publishing, in which the reader simply electronically copies the work on demand, in any quantity he or she wants, for free. | | | Internet mail is "e-mail," electronic mail, faster by several orders of magnitude than the US Mail, which is scornfully known by Internet regulars as "snailmail." Internet mail is somewhat like fax. | | | The spread of the Internet in the 90s resembles the spread of personal computing in the 1970s, though it is even faster and perhaps more important. |

| | Internet Society (ISOC) All About The Internet: History of the Internet |
| | The Internet, although a network in name and geography, is a creature of the computer, not the traditional network of the telephone or television industry. | | | Internet was based on the idea that there would be multiple independent networks of rather arbitrary design, beginning with the ARPANET as the pioneering packet switching network, but soon to include packet satellite networks, ground-based packet radio networks and other networks. | | | The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic location. |

| | Internet Tutorial - What Is the Internet? |
| | The Internet is a worldwide collection of computer networks, cooperating with each other to exchange data using a common software standard. | | | The appeal of the Internet to these bodies was obvious, as it allowed disparate institutions to connect to each others' computing systems and databases, as well as share data via E-mail. | | | Unlike many computer networks, the Internet consists of not one but multiple data systems that were developed independently. |

| | A Brief History of the Internet |
| | The Internet was the result of some visionary thinking by people in the early 1960s who saw great potential value in allowing computers to share information on research and development in scientific and military fields. | | | The Internet matured in the 70's as a result of the TCP/IP architecture first proposed by Bob Kahn at BBN and further developed by Kahn and Vint Cerf at Stanford and others throughout the 70's. | | | The early Internet was used by computer experts, engineers, scientists, and librarians. |

| | History of the Internet: Preface |
| | It is certainly true that the Internet is an evolution in the computer science field. | | | The Internet is a unique creature, sharing some attributes with print publishing, others with telephones and mail, still more with television -- and in other respects it is unlike any system that has preceded it. | | | So if your favorite moment in the history of the Internet is not included here, we apologize in advance -- perhaps we'll be able to patch the problem in a debugged version 2.0. |
