Key insights

💻

Computers in the 1950s took up an entire room and had limited visual interfaces, highlighting the significant advancements in technology over the years.
🌐

JCR Licklider's visionary idea of a galactic network of computers laid the foundation for the development of the internet.
🤔

The development of the internet was driven by the realization that the existing protocol (RCP) was insufficient for the open exchange of packets between different networks, leading to the search for a substitute.
🤔

The fact that Arpanet, the precursor to the internet, was taken over by a United States defense agency highlights the military origins and influence on the early internet.
💥

The internet's transition from being used primarily by researchers and developers to being adopted by the corporate world and consumer public sparked its explosive growth and widespread usage.
🌍

The formation of backbone networks and the interconnection of servers in the late 80s marked the birth of the internet as we know it today.
🌐

The idea of creating a system to exchange files and obtain information from connections between all connected equipment was conceived in 1989, leading to the development of the internet as we know it today.
🌐

The evolution of the internet from cable connections between universities to a global and standardized space for exchanging content has become an essential part of our lives today.

Timestamped Summary

💡

00:00
The history of the internet began with the telegraph and evolved through advances in computers, leading to the first transatlantic cable and telephone line, ultimately driven by the ideological and scientific confrontation of the Cold War.
🌐

01:22
DARPA collaborated with academics and industrialists to develop a galactic network of computers, leading to the establishment of the first network connection in 1969 through the breakthrough of the packet communication system.
🌐

03:44
The arpanet was developed for education and communication, leading to the invention of email and the first public webcam demonstration, eventually evolving into the internet with a global network and a substitute for the inadequate rcp protocol.
📚

05:37
The internet began with the operationalization of Arpanet in 1975, and in 1983, the communication standard changed to TCP/IP, enabling data transmission between devices without rebuilding networks.
💡

07:26
The internet started as a communication technology for researchers and developers, but eventually expanded to the corporate world and consumer public through the formation of small networks like cs net, nets, bitnet, and nsf net.
🌐

08:25
The internet was born in the 80s with the installation of servers and interconnection of networks, leading to its commercial use in the United States and further development by CERN in Europe.
🌐

10:05
The world wide web was created in 1989 by Timothy Berners-Lee and Roberto Kalil, allowing for decentralized posting and the development of open internet standards.
🌐

12:19
The internet has evolved from cable connections between universities to a global space for exchanging content, with advancements such as broadband, wifi, and mobile data, but there are currently issues with congestion and slow migration to ipv6.
