  1. Chapter 1 Catalysts for Change

  2. Milestones in Networking (1/2) • Electromagnetism (early 1800s) • Telegraph (1844) • Telephone (1876) • Typewriter and teletype (1873, 1908) • Radio (1895) • Television (1927)

  3. Milestones in Networking (1/2) • Remote computing (1940) • ARPANET (1969) • Email (1972) • Internet (1983) • NSFNET • Broadband

  4. Electricity and Electromagnetism • Volta invents battery (1799) • Oersted shows electricity creates magnetic field (1820) • Sturgeon constructs electromagnet (1825) • Henry uses electromagnetism to communicate (1830)

  5. Telegraph (1844) • U.S. government funded first line • 40 miles from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore • Built by Samuel Morse in 1843-1844 • Private networks flourished • 12,000 miles of lines in 1850 • Transcontinental line in 1861 • 200,000 miles of lines by 1877 • Technology proved versatile • Fire alarm boxes • Police call boxes

  6. Telephone (1876) • Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) • Constructed harmonic telegraph • Leveraged concept into first telephone • Social impact of telephone • Blurred public life / private life boundary • Eroded traditional social hierarchies • Reduced privacy • Enabled first “online” communities

  7. Typewriter and Teletype • Typewriter (1873) • Individual production of “type set” documents • Common in offices by 1890s • Teletype (1908) • Typewriter connected to telegraph line • Popular uses • Transmitting news stories • Sending records of stock transactions

  8. Radio (1895) • Pioneers • Hertz creates electromagnetic waves • Marconi invents radio • First used in business • Wireless telegraph • Transmit voices • Entertainment uses • Suggested by Sarnoff • Important entertainment medium by 1930s

  9. Television (1927) • Became popular in 1950s • Price fell dramatically • Number of stations increased • Social effects • Worldwide audiences • Networks strive to be first to deliver news • Impact of incorrect information; e.g., 2000 presidential election

  10. Remote Computing (1940) • Stibitz and Williams build Complex Number Calculator at Bell Labs • Bell Labs part of AT&T (phone company) • Teletype chosen for input/output • Allows operator to be distant from machine • Long-distance demonstration between New Hampshire and New York City

  11. ARPANET (1969) • DoD creates ARPA in late 1950s • Licklider conceives of “Galactic Network” • Decentralized design to improve survivability • Packet-switching replaces circuit switching

  12. Email (1972) • Creation • Tomlinson at BBN writes software to send, receive email messages • Roberts creates email utility • Current status • One of world’s most important communication technologies • Billions of messages sent in U.S. every day

  13. Internet (1983) • Kahn conceives of open architecture networking • Cerf and Kahn design TCP/IP protocol • Internet: network of networks communicating using TCP/IP

  14. NSFNET • Created by National Science Foundation • Provided access grants to universities • Encouraged commercial subscribers for regional networks • Banned commercial traffic on NSFNET Backbone • Private companies developed long-distance Internet connections • After private networks established, NSF shut down NSFNET Backbone
