Evolution of Internet




The Internet was the result of some visionary thinking by people 
in the early 1960s that saw great potential value in allowing 
computers to share information on research and development 
in scientific and military fields.


J.C.R. Licklider of MIT, first proposed a global network of computers
 in 1962, and moved over to the Defense Advanced Research 
Projects Agency (DARPA) in late 1962 to head the work to 
develop it. Leonard Kleinrock of MIT and later UCLA developed 
the theory of packet switching, which was to form the basis of 
Internet connections.

Lawrence Roberts of MIT connected a Massachusetts computer 
with a California computer in 1965 over dial-up telephone lines.
It showed the feasibility of wide area networking, but also 
showed that the telephone line's circuit switching was inadequate.

Kleinrock's packet switching theory was confirmed. Roberts 
moved over to DARPA in 1966 and developed his plan 
for ARPANET. These visionaries and many more left unnamed 
here are the real founders of the Internet.The Internet,then known
as ARPANET. 

Charley Kline at UCLA sent the first packets on ARPANet as 
he tried to connect to Stanford Research Institute on Oct 29, 1969. 


After the Evolution of Internet now web designers is the growth of 
smaller devices to connect to the Internet. Small tablets, 
pocket PCs, smart phones, ebooks, game machines, and 
even GPS devices are now capable of tapping into the web on
 the go, and many web pages are not designed to work on that scale.




As the Internet has become ubiquitous, faster, and increasingly 
accessible to non-technical communities, social networking and 
collaborative services have grown rapidly, enabling people to 
communicate and share interests in many more ways. Sites like Face book,Twitter,KLinked,You Tube,Flicker,Second Life,Delicious,
Blogs,Wikis and many more let people of all ages rapidly share 
their interests of the moment with others everywhere.
