Understanding the Internet: Origins, Evolution, and Impact on Society

The Internet, a vast system of interconnected computer networks using TCP/IP, connects millions globally, enabling access to services like the World Wide Web, email, and instant messaging. Its roots trace back to the Cold War, with ARPA's creation in 1958 and the first network, ARPANET, launched in the 1960s. Pivotal milestones include the establishment of the first DNS in 1983, the explosion of web content in the 2000s, and the rise of social media platforms. This comprehensive overview explores the Internet's evolution, from early projects to the social revolution it sparked.
