What is the Internet
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link several billion devices worldwide. It is an international network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government packet switched networks, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), the infrastructure to support , and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing and telephony.

3. Sputnik
October 4, 1957 – The Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite.
That event started the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States and the next goal was to be the first to the moon.

4. John F. Kennedy
Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense created in 1958
The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was one of the world's first operational packet switching networks, the first network to implement TCP/IP, and one of the progenitors of what was to become the global Internet.
From Wikipedia
John F Kennedy investment in Sciences to beat the Soviet Union to the Moon led to the creation of ARPA

5. J.C.R. Licklider MIT – Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Series of memos in August 1962 discussing his "Galactic Network" concept. He envisioned a globally interconnected set of computers through which everyone could quickly access data and programs from any site.
Licklider was the first head of the computer research program at DARPA, starting in October While at DARPA he convinced his successors at DARPA, Ivan Sutherland, Bob Taylor, and MIT researcher Lawrence G. Roberts, of the importance of this networking concept.

6. Leonard Kleinrock
At MIT published the first paper on packet switching theory in July 1961 and the first book on the subject in 1964.
Kleinrock convinced Roberts of the theoretical feasibility of communications using packets rather than circuits, which was a major step along the path towards computer networking. The other key step was to make the computers talk together. To explore this, in 1965 working with Thomas Merrill, Roberts connected the TX-2 computer in Mass. to the Q-32 in California with a low speed dial-up telephone line creating the first (however small) wide-area computer network ever built.
The result of this experiment was the realization that the time-shared computers could work well together, running programs and retrieving data as necessary on the remote machine, but that the circuit switched telephone system was totally inadequate for the job.
Kleinrock's conviction of the need for packet switching was confirmed.

7. Packet switching
is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data – regardless of content, type, or structure – into suitably sized blocks, called packets.

8. ARPANET First one to connect to the ARPANET. Others to connect was
System Development Corporation in Santa Monica,
University of California, Berkeley
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Others to connect was
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
Stanford Research Institute
University of Utah
University of California, Santa Barbara.

9. Host-to-Host
Computers were added quickly to the ARPANET during the following years, and work proceeded on completing a functionally complete Host-to-Host protocol and other network software.
In December 1970 the Network Working Group (NWG) working under S. Crocker finished the initial ARPANET Host-to-Host protocol, called the Network Control Protocol (NCP).
As the ARPANET sites completed implementing NCP during the period , the network users finally could begin to develop applications.

10. 1973
TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP),developed by Vinton Cerf from Stanford and Bob Kahn from DARPA.
Allowed diverse computer networks to interconnect and communicate with each other
TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination.

11. 1976 Ethernet developed by Dr. Robert M. Metcalfe.
Allowed coaxial cables to move data extremely fast.
This was a crucial component to the development of LANS (Local Area Networks)
ARPANET started using TCP/IP protocol

12. 1984 ARPANET was divided into two networks MILNET – for military
ARPANET – for advance research

13. Tim Berners-Lee Invented the World Wide Web in 1989.
 He was a software engineer at CERN, the large particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.
 Many scientists participated in experiments at CERN then returned to their laboratories around the world. These scientists were eager to exchange data and results, but had difficulties doing so.
Tim understood this need, and understood the unrealized potential of millions of computers connected together through the Internet
Tim documented what was to become the World Wide Web with the submission of a proposal to his management at CERN, in late
By October of 1990, he had specified the three fundamental technologies that remain the foundation of today’s Web
HTML: HyperText Markup Language. The publishing format for the Web, including the ability to format documents and link to other documents and resources.
URI: Uniform Resource Identifier. A kind of “address” that is unique to each resource on the Web.
HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Allows for the retrieval of linked resources from across the Web.

14. World Wide Web
Tim also wrote the first Web page editor/browser (“WorldWideWeb”) and the first Web server (“httpd“).
By 1991, people outside of CERN joined the new Web community.
CERN announced in April 1993 that the World Wide Web technology would be available for anyone to use on a royalty-free basis.

15. HTML HTML – HYPER TEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE
There are many versions of HTML. HTML does not work the same on all Browser but much better than the past.
HTML5 is the latest version
