what is the Internet The Internet is like a popular thing
some satellites up there I pictured my head with like waves of Internet go into the phone somebody told me a cloudone the Internet is a lot like plumbing it's always moving most people don't have any idea where the Internet camfrom and it is that doesn't matter they
don't need to it's sort of like asking who invented the ballpoint pen or the flush toilet or you know the zipper these are all things we just use every
day we don't even think about the fact that one day somebody invented them so
the Internet is just like that many years ago in the early 1970s my partner Bob Kahn and I began working on the
design of what we now call the Internetit as a result of another experiment
called the ARPANET which stood forAdvanced Research Projects AgencyNetwork it was a Defense Department
research project Paul Baran was trying to figure out how to build a communication system that might actually
survive a nuclear attack so he had this
idea of breaking messages up into blocks
and sending them as fast as possible in every possible direction through the mesh network so we built a what
eventually became a nationwide experimental packet network and it worked is anybody in charge of the Internet the
government controls it elves obviously elves the people who control the Wi-Fi
because then no Wi-Fi no internet t mobile Xfinity Bill GatesBill Gates Bill Gates right the honest
answer is well nobody and it may be another answers everybody
the real answer is that the Internet is made of an incredibly large number of
independently operated networks what's interesting about the system is that
it's fully distributed there's no central control that's deciding how packets are routed or where pieces are networked or build or even who
interconnects with whom these are all business decisions that are made independently by the operators they arall motivated to assure that there is
end-to-end connectivity of every part of net is that any device can communicate
with any other device just like you want to be able to make phone calls to another telephone in the world there's nothing like this that has ever been built before the idea that what you know
might be useful to somebody else or vice
versa is a very powerful motivator for sharing information by the way that's
how science gets done people share information so this is an opportunity for people to think of new applications
maybe program them as apps on mobile phone maybe become part of the continued growth of the infrastructure of the
network to bring it to people who don't have access to it yet or just make use of it on a day to day basis you can't
escape from contact with the internet why not get to know it and use it
