ARPANET

The Internet was originally called the ARPANET, and in order to enhance the ARPANET to be enable may different types of computer networks to all communicate with each other, an open source protocol needed to be created, hence the development of TCP/IP. TCP/IP improved communications throughout the network and allowed all computers to easily communicate with one another. Another technology that helped expand the ARPANET to more users in a specific location was the development of…

Task 1 Today, we do many things online. We do our banking, talk to friends and family, shop and watch tv shows, but all this we take for granted today was just a vague idea 50 years ago. In order to find how how we got this far lets go back to 1957. When it all began. In 1957 computers could really only work on one process at a time. This is known as batch processing. To speed up the computer speeds they had to build bigger computers to the point that the computers had to be stored in special…

IV. Computer A lot of people struggled with math problems and so the idea of computers was derived from the incentive of making math easier, to make counting easier. During World War II the U.S and Britain were fighting against Germany, and they wanted to deport the messages to plan their next attack.The first computers were used to break the enigma code. After years of trial and errors they finally broke the code and saved thousands of lives. It was a success and the computer was…

theory and the first book on the subject as well in 1964.Moreover developments showed that the Arpanet was designed and this eventually led to the world’s largest communication network, namely the World wide web. Internet was based on the idea that there would be multiple networks working independently based on random choice or personal decisions rather than any reason or system, beginning with the ARPANET as the packet switching network,…

Where Modern Meets Mundane: The History of the Internet in a Contemporary Culture If we are the so-called “networked society” (Kåhre, 2013, p.1), and this is the age of web culture, we have to ask ourselves if the Internet has indeed just recently jumped out of antiquity. Through a critical analysis of literature surrounding different communication types, I will endeavour to investigate which aspects of the Internet, if any, could be regarded as ‘new’. Throughout this essay, I use the word…

The Crusades: A Catalyst for Exploration “God, glory, and gold--not necessarily in that order--took post-Renaissance Europeans to parts of the globe they had never before seen.”, states Larry Schweikart and Michael Patrick Allen at the beginning of their book, A Patriot’s History of the United States (Schweikart). Discoveries stemming from the Crusades’ driven hunger for gold and righteousness are explored in this paper along with contemporary examples of discoveries made to meet wartime needs.…

The Internet is used everyday by numerous people around the world, but few know the origin of the Internet. The Internet today has evolved from the original design of the ARPANET in the late 1960’s by the Department of Defense, which was created to share information from server to server, to the World Wide Web created in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee which also shares information from server to server but allows the user to only use one program instead of switching programs to gain information from…

differences matter. Originally, the Department of Defense researched and developed some of the core principles that gave birth to the internet as it is known today. In the beginning it was called the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network or ARPANET. When the ARPANET transitioned to the internet, “from network control protocol (NCP) to TCP/IP” (Yannakogeorgos 105). TCP and IP are separate protocols used in conjunction,“to connect with other computers on the Internet or other networks”…

Introduction At the tender age of 13, a teenager named Kevin Mitnick used the art of Social engineering- manipulating people to give up confidential information- and Dumpster Diving - the practice of looting dumpsters to find discarded items that have value – to bypass a punch card information system that was used in the Los Angeles public transport system. He convinced one of the many drivers of a bus to tell him where he could purchase his own ticket for what he claimed was a school project.…

Army Counterintelligence (CI) field started in the Revolutionary War, when President George Washington first practiced the art of CI in the Continental Army. After the Revolutionary War, the government viewed the CI field as being necessary only during the time of war, and soon decommissioned the field. This method of activation and deactivation continued even throughout some of US history’s greatest wars: Indian War, War of 1812, Civil War, World War I, and World War II. With each activation CI…
