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.

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
