Meaning of the Internet
Internet (short for interconnection-networking) is an entire communication network that uses electronic media, which are connected to each other using the global system standard Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) as a packet switching communication protocol to serve billions of users. around the world. The largest network network is called the Internet. This way of connecting a network with this rule is called internetworking ("internetwork").
Internet History
The Internet is a computer network formed by the United States Department of Defense in 1969, through an ARPA project called the ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency Network), where they demonstrated how with UNIX-based computer hardware and software, we can communicate over long distances. infinity over the telephone line.
The ARPANET project designed the shape of the network, its reliability, how much information could be transferred, and finally all the standards they set became the forerunner to the construction of a new protocol now known as TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
At first the ARPANET only connected 4 sites, namely the Stanford Research Institute, the University of California, Santa Barbara, the University of Utah, where they formed an integrated network in 1969, and in general the ARPANET was introduced in October 1972. Not long after this project rapidly growing across the region, and all the universities in the country wanted to join, making it difficult for the ARPANET to manage.
Therefore the ARPANET was split into two, namely the "MILNET" for military purposes and the new, smaller "ARPANET" for non-military purposes such as universities. The combination of the two networks eventually became known as DARPA Internet, which was later simplified to become the Internet.
Internet access
Countries with the best Internet access include South Korea (50% of the population have broadband access), and Sweden. There are two common forms of Internet access, namely dial-up and broadband. In Indonesia, such as developing countries where Internet access and PC penetration are already quite high with the support of cheap Internet and cheap netbooks, it's just that in Indonesia operators are not fair in determining prices and there is even one operator who deliberately creates a "trap" so that Internet users pay more. Others about 42% of Internet access through Public Internet Access facilities such as internet cafes, cybercafes, hotspots etc. Other public places that are often used for Internet access are on campuses and offices.
Besides using a PC (Personal Computer), we can also access the Internet via Mobile (HP) using a facility called GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). GPRS is one of the wireless communication standards (wireless) which has a connection speed of 115 kbps and supports a wider range of applications (graphics and multimedia). GPRS technology is accessible which supports the facility. GPRS settings on the phone depend on the operator used. Internet access costs are calculated by the amount of capacity (per-kilobyte) downloaded
According to Dominik (2009) internet connection is a system of computers that can connect someone remotely. Internet connection can be channeled through telephone cables, fiber optic cables and cables that are built with a specific purpose.
The history of the internet began in the early 1970s with the emergence of Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA) which is a system belonging to the United States Department of Defense (US Department of Defense) which is focused on protecting computer networks against nuclear attacks because the Pentagon does not want to lose data and communication systems. what was built was destroyed.
The fear of losing these data makes computer experts think about decentralizing all systems by creating an interconnected web of computers so that all computers can be connected to other computers. The information contained in the system is called the Internet Protocol Packet which contains the destination address of another computer.
In 1990 engineers working in the physics laboratory of Switzserland created an interconnection system in computers that could display hypertext, text and visual images called the World Wide Web (WWW). Internet members to search for information.
In 1993 it was found a navigation that can make it easier for users to find what they want to find, the browser or browser tool that was invented the first time was Mosaic which made a graphical display for users that simplifies internet navigation that can be used to retrieve data as needed and configure the data to be displayed. displayed.
Then in 1994, Microsoft as the largest software company released their browser tool, namely Internet Explorer.
Then in 1998, Google was the first search engine invented and has a function to scan the information that users want on the internet. In addition, another search engine is Yahoo! which is very useful in helping users to use the internet to become a useful information search tool
In the mid-2000s the development of the internet began rapidly and made the internet an easy-to-use software program for uploading content to the internet so that in that year many blogs, video sharing sites, social networking sites emerged.
