One computer was placed in a lab at UCLA and the second was at Stanford. Something interesting was that the computers were the size of a small house. The original message was LOGIN but only the two first letters received. ]]> 2017-01-03 00:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008697 google_23 https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008707 During the 1970s, four computers were connected to the ARPAnet creating a network and then growing steadily. In 1971, the University of Hawaii’s ALOHAnet added to this network followed by London University College and the Royal Radar Establishment in Norway two years later. ]]> 2017-01-03 00:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008707 google_23 https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008711 By the end of the 1970s, Vinton Cerf, a computer scientist, developed a way to communicate for all of the computers belonging to all of the world’s mini-networks with one another. This was called “Transmission Control Protocol ” or TCP, currently known as “Internet Protocol” or IP .]]> 2017-01-03 00:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008711 google_23 https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008730 In 1991 the Swiss computer programmer Tim Berners-Lee introduced the World Wide Web: an Internet that was not simply a way to send files from one place to another but was itself a “web” of information that anyone on the Internet could retrieve.]]> 2017-01-03 00:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008730 google_23 https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008738 Today, we use the Internet for almost everything, and for many people it would be impossible to imagine life without it ]]> 2017-01-03 00:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008738 google_23 https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008965 2017-01-03 00:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/google_23/a4bjn48ya6hj/wish/145008965
