Not-so-Famous Last Words• "I think there
is a world market for maybe five computers.“~Thomas Watson, Chairman of IBM, 1943
What Is the Internet?• A network of networks, joining many
government, university and private computers together and providing an infrastructure for the use of E-mail, bulletin boards, file archives, hypertext documents, databases and other computational resources
• The vast collection of computer networks which form and act as a single huge network for transport of data and messages across distances which can be anywhere from the same office to anywhere in the world.
Written by William F. Slater, III 1996President of the Chicago Chapter of the Internet Society

• The largest network of networks in the world.• Uses TCP/IP protocols (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) and packet switching.• Runs on any communications substrate.
Simply the internet it:

Historical Context• Invented in the late 50’s,
Bob Taylor, JCR Licklider, Ivan Sutherland, Larry Roberts, Alan Kay et al
•Big ideas: packet switching, self contained messages
• The Internet got started as the Arpanet • inherently decentralized •designed to survive atomic attack•designed to scale in a biological manner
• 1969 -The Mansfield amendment changed the focus• ARPA -> DARPA• everyone heads for the exits, including
• Bob Taylor• Alan Kay
• and the result is Xerox PARC• Taylor was hired to start a Computer Science Lab• Mission was to create an “architecture of information”
Out of the Pentagon, Into the Bean Bag Chairs
Xerox PARC was responsible for many firsts…
• PC’s• Graphical user interfaces (GUI)• Laser printing• Object oriented programming• Client/server• email• and….networking, specifically the ethernet
Meanwhile…• Vint Cerf & Bob Kahn design the
TCP protocol on top of the existing IP• IP - Internetwork Protocol - how to send packets across networks, regardless of hardware and operating system incompatibilities
•TCP - Transmission Control Protocol - how to break up logical messages into packets and put them back together at the other end on top of IP
The combination of their efforts was key…
• An elegant decentralized network interface - Ethernet
• An elegant decentralized protocol - IP• An elegant decentralized higher protocol – TCP• Together they form the foundation of the Internet• The year is 1973
Open Standards Accelerate Growth & Acceptance
• ARPANET continued to grow throughout the 70’s• Researchers and Academics began to use the network• 1976 - Queen Elizabeth goes online with the first royal
email message.• In 1985 the National Science Foundation launched a
program to establish access across the U.S.• In 1989 ARPANET was shut down by Defense
Communications Industry due to limited funding and support from the military
Bring on the applications• Email is the first killer app, and was
added right away• SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol• POP3 - Post Office Protocol v3
• Other document transfers were invented over time:• FTP - File Transfer Protocol• NNTP (Netnews) - threaded discussions• Gopher - text search and archive• Telnet- allows a user to “log-in” to a remote computer• and many more
Now for the World Wide Web• The Internet was in common use for
scientists and academics and Unix geeks for 20+ years
• Tim Berners-Lee wanted to send formatted text with hyperlinks (1989)
• Thus was born the next higher protocol - HTTP: the Hypertext Transport Protocol
• But the new documents needed a description to be properly displayed with links - and thus we have HTML - the Hypertext Markup Language
Power to the people• 1992 - The first audio and video broadcasts take place over the "MBONE."
More than 1,000,000 hosts are part of the Internet.Let there be browsers -
HTML display applications that use HTTP
to send and receive stuff
• 1993 - Mosaic, the first graphical user interface to the WWW developed by Marc Andreessen and NCSA and the University of Illinois becomes available
• Later developed NETSCAPE • Traffic on the Internet expands at a 341,634% annual growth rate.
To God’s ears…• 1995 - NSFNET reverts back to a research project,
leaving the Internet in commercial hands. The Web now comprises the bulk of Internet traffic. The Vatican launches www.vatican.va.
• James Gosling and a team of programmers at Sun Microsystems release an Internet programming language called Java, which radically alters the way applications and information can be retrieved,displayed, and used over the Internet.
Grow, growing, grooooooowing…• Users in
almost 200 countries around the world are now connected to the Internet.

Internet Growth Trends• 1977: 111 hosts on Internet• 1981: 213 hosts• 1983: 562 hosts• 1984: 1,000 hosts• 1986: 5,000 hosts• 1987: 10,000 hosts• 1989: 100,000 hosts• 1992: 1,000,000 hosts• 2001: 150 – 175 million hosts• 2002: over 200 million hosts• By 2010, about 80% of the planet will be on the
Internet
March 2001
>Over 115 Million Hosts(As of Jan. 2001)
>Over 407 Million Users(As of Nov. 2000)
>218 of 246 Countries(As of Jan. 2000)
>About 100 TB of Data
>31 Million Domain Names

The Internet Reached TwoImportant Milestones:
Not-so-famous last words…
•"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.“
~Thomas Watson, Chairman of IBM, 1943
Feed the Web First• Given the choice of open or closed systems,
consumers show a fierce enthusiasm for open architectures. They choose the open again and again because an open system has more potential upside than a closed one. There are more sources from which to recruit members and more nodes with which to intersect.
~ Kevin Kelly New Rules for the New Economy10 Radical Strategies for a Connected World
Web 2.0• second generation of Web-based services • Communication tools• Collaborative technologies• Social networking sites
• "Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them.“
~ Tim O’Reilly

What is a WIKI?• About WIKIs
• website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change available content, typically without the need for registration.
• ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring
• Each new machine or technique, in a sense, changes all existing machines and techniques, by permitting us to put them together into new combinations. The number of possible combinations rises exponentially as the number of new machines or techniques rises arithmetically. Indeed, each new combination may, itself, be regarded as a new super-machine.~ Alvin Toffler, Future Shock, 1970
• Since we have no choice but to be swept along by [this] vast technological surge, we might as well learn to surf.~ Michael SouleConservation for the 21st Century, 1989
And now…• how to harness this expansive resource
