Abstract:

The aim of this essay is to outline and analyse milestones in the history of the Internet. As technology
advances, it presents new societal and ethical challenges. The Internet is a large computer network
linking smaller networks to one another. Tim Berners-Lee, founder of the WWW Consortium, has a
simple description of the Internet: "it's a bit like a postcard with a simple address on it. If you put the
right address on a packet, and gave it to any computer which is connected as part of the Net, each
computer would figure out which cable to send it down next so that it would get to its destination.
That's what the Internet does. It delivers packets anywhere in the world, normally well under a second."

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a global information network that connects millions of computers. It is growing
exponentially and provides a unique information resource that is global, diverse and current.

What do we use the Internet for?

 Browsing Information
 Social media and creating awareness
 For entertainment purpose
 Communicating with people all over the world.
 Sharing information
 E-commerce and banking.

Conclusion:

The Web exists because of programs which communicate between computers on the Net. The Web
could not be without the Net. The Web made the net useful because people are really interested in
information and don't really want to have know about computers and cables.
