One of the major reasons business, home, and other users purchase computers is
for Internet access.

The Internet, also called the Net, is a worldwide collection of networks that links
millions of businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and
individuals.

It is a widely used research tool, providing society with access to global

information and instant communications.

The Internet has its roots in a networking project started by an agency of the U.S.
Department of Defense. The goal for that project was to build a network that
1. allowed scientists at different locations to share information and work
together on military and scientific projects; and
2. could function even if part of the network were disabled or destroyed by a
disaster such as a nuclear attack.

That network was called ARPANET or the Advanced Research Projects Agency
Network. It became functional in September 1969, linking scientific and
academic researchers across the United States.
The original ARPANET consisted of four main computers, one each located at the
University of California at Los Angeles, the University of California at Santa Barbara,
the Stanford Research Institute, and the University of Utah.
Each of these computers served as a host on the network.

A host or server is any computer that provides services and connections to other
computers on a network.

By 1984, ARPANET had more than 1,000 individual computers linked as hosts.
Today, millions of hosts are connected to this network, which is known now as the
Internet.

People around the world use a variety of Internet services in daily activities.
Internet services allow us users to access the Web for activities such as conducting
research, taking online classes, posting or updating our social media accounts,
watching movies, playing online games, and many more.

The Internet consists of many local, regional, national, and international networks.
Both public and private organizations own networks on the Internet. These
networks, along with telephone companies, cable and satellite companies, and
the government, all contribute toward the internal structure of the Internet.

Each organization on the Internet is responsible only for maintaining its own
network. No single person, company, institution, or government agency controls
or owns the Internet.

However, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) oversees research and sets
standards and guidelines for many areas of the Internet. More than 350
organizations from around the world are members of the W3C.
That’s all for this lesson. I’ll see you in the next video.
