Internet is a series of interconnected computer networks, including the networks of government offices, the military, utilities businesses, and educational institutions. Internet also called the "World Wide Web".
Internet can be used to communicate with others by sending an Internet Protocol(IP) packet to a specific "address" on the Internet.
Where did the Internet come from?
In 1973, the Internet was developed by the Department of Defense network known as the ARPANET (ARPA stands for the Advanced Research Projects Agency). The object was to develop communication protocols which would allow networked computers to communicate transparently across multiple, liked packet networks. This was called the internetting project and the system of networks which emerged from the research was known as the "Internet".
By 1980s hundreds of universities, corporations, and government agencies around the world were connected to ARPANET. The project was expired in 1989, but the Internet remained. Today, millions of people are connected to the Internet, almost entirely over private or university based networks, and the number of users are expected to continue grow.
How is the Internet useful?
The greatees impact in the availability and flow of information in the history of mankind has been access to the accumulation of data which is obtainable nowadays through the Internet. The main apparent benefit which Web use provides is the opportunity to seek and find immense quantities of data, or information on just about any subject or topic. By having more information accessible, it is logical to consider that one would be able to engender more ideas than anyone could without Web support.
