The Internet
In 1973, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated a research program to investigate techniques and technologies for interlinking packet networks of various kinds. The objective was to develop communication protocols which would allow networked computers to communicate transparently across multiple, linked packet networks. This was called the Internetting project and the system of networks which emerged from the research was known as the "Internet." The system of protocols which was developed over the course of this research effort became known as the TCP/IP Protocol Suite, after the two initial protocols developed: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). (I got my information for the history of the internet at www.isoc.org In 1986, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) initiated the development of the NSFNET which, today, provides a major backbone communication service for the Internet. With its 45 megabit per second facilities, the NSFNET carries on the order of 12 billion packets per month between the networks it links. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. Department of Energy contributed additional backbone facilities in the form of the NSINET and ESNET respectively. In Europe, major international backbones such as NORDUNET and others provide connectivity to over one hundred thousand computers on a large number of networks. Commercial network providers in the U.S. and Europe are beginning to offer Internet backbone and access support on a competitive basis to any interested parties.
One positive issue about the internet is that it is so much easier to buy or even sell things like on eBay. If you find something that you want to sell you don?t have to put it in the news paper you can put it on the web where you would have a much better chance of selling it. My resource for this is www.ebay.com Another positive thing is if you need to talk to somebody on the phone that is another state and you don?t want to pay long distance billing and if they got the internet you can just get onto a chatroom and talk for free. My resource for this is www.msn.com. Plus another positive issue about the internet is you can meet new people. I know a girl who met a guy on the internet and they have been dating now for over 2 years and plan to get married.
Some bad issues about the internet is that if you do happen to meet a person online you never really know who they are unless you meet them in person because the internet can only allow you to talk to them: it can?t let you meet them. So for all you know it could be a man or an extremely young girl. Plus another bad thing is if you order something online then you have to give out your credit card numbers and your passwords and people can hack into your computer system and get them and then go spend a lot of your hard earned money and you may never even know who it is or how to stop them. Also if you have little children then they can get online and get into a lot of trouble like going into websites that little kids shouldn?t be going into and some of those cost money per minute your in there almost like when you dial a 1-900 phone number so then when you get your telephone bill it?s like 200 bucks.
The internet has made a good impact on my life. It has help to finish my homework faster by giving me tons of resources to get my information from. Plus I can talk to my aunt and uncle who live in Tennessee and it don?t cost long distance and I can parts to fix up my car a lot cheaper then getting them out of a magazine. It has made a bad influence on me though because it takes up a lot of my time like when I go to download music or when I play games on the internet it has cost me a lot of money before and I didn?t even know it. Also downloading music is illegal and if I was to ever get caught in that I would say I would have a really big fine to pay and probably may even face jail time over something so little as downloading a song or two. Also they are a lot of money, some now are over like 4,000 dollars. But I guess the more money you end up spending on one is the better off you and the computer will be.
