Electronic mail is introduced by Ray Tomlinson. He uses the @ in between the senders name and network name in the email address. Previously, mail could be sent only to others who used the same computer. This separated the user from their machine, which has been used in email addresses ever since]]> 2016-03-04 17:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/simran_banga/zm1chsmmk2g0/wish/99085641 simran_banga https://padlet.com/simran_banga/zm1chsmmk2g0/wish/99093822 A proposal was published to link Arpa-like networks together into a so-called "inter-network", which would have no central control and would work around a transmission control protocol. One of these protocols, FTP , allows users to log onto a remote computer, list the files on that computer, and download files from that computer.]]> 2016-03-04 17:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/simran_banga/zm1chsmmk2g0/wish/99093822 simran_banga https://padlet.com/simran_banga/zm1chsmmk2g0/wish/99166881 A virus called the Internet Worm temporarily shuts down about 10% of the world's Internet servers. It was best  known as the Morris Worm, and it gained the public’s attention by causing a lot of damage on the internet Every attempt to reboot or clean the system was unsuccessful because the processes returned after each clean up.  The worm traveled over the internet, so every machine connected to an infected machine would be exposed to a risk, which would eventually amount to a huge number of infected computers.]]> 2016-03-05 07:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/simran_banga/zm1chsmmk2g0/wish/99166881 simran_banga https://padlet.com/simran_banga/zm1chsmmk2g0/wish/99239408  It was estimated that about 2.6 billion music files each month were illegally downloaded by internet users.

Millions of banks, Internet commerce companies, email services, government sites, and social media sites rely on OpenSSL to conduct secure transactions.

Tim Berners-Lee of CERN develops a new technique for distributing information on the Internet. He called it the World Wide Web (www.). The Web is based on hypertext, which permits the user to connect from one document to another at different sites on the Internet via hyperlinks.

The protest is over two bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the Protect IP Act in the Senate. The main goal of both bills is to stop illegal downloading and streaming of TV shows and movies online. The tech industry is concerned that the bills will give media companies too much power to shut down websites. ]]> 2016-03-07 01:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/simran_banga/zm1chsmmk2g0/wish/99270815 simran_banga https://padlet.com/simran_banga/zm1chsmmk2g0/wish/99282210 To the huge Internet population, deviant computer programmers begin to  design and circulating viruses with greater frequency. “Love Bug” and “Stages” were two examples of self-replicating viruses that could send themselves to a list on the computer user's email address book.
