The first recorded interactions though networking happened in August of 1962. It was a series of memos written by J.C.R. Licklider from MIT. In October 29, 1969, computers at UCLA and Stanford connected. The first message sent across that network was the letter “g”. It was suppose to be the word, “Login”. Unix, the original operating system that influenced the operating systems most used in today’s web hosting services, was also founded in 1969. In 1971 Email was developed by Ray tomlinson. This the origin of the @ symbol as a separator between user name and computer name. 1974 was a breakout year for the internet. A link of Arpa-like networks were connected. these links had no central control system and would work through a transmission control protocol, also know today as the start of TCP/IP.
In 1979, the earliest forms of multiplayer games were created, The very first form was called MUD or MultiUser Dungeon. MUDs were a entirely text based virtual realm where games, role-playing, fiction, online chats, and other interactions took place. In 1982, the first emoticon was invented It was a smiley face : – ). It was used after a joke.
The internet grew to nearly 30,000 hosts by 1986, TCP/IP made it possible to add large amount of hosts to it’s servers. The first malicious internet attack was “The Morris Worm”, written code that would cause interruptions across the internet. AOL was launched in 1989 which is still existing today.
In 1989, The proposal of thee world wide web was written by Tim Berners-Lee. It was published in the March issue of MacWorld and then redistributed in May 1990. The proposal was written to convince CERN that it should adopt a global hypertext system. World Wide Web was original called “Mesh”.
This proposal has to be the greatest impact today in the Internet. This is the grand proposal that really changes the course of the internet. If Tim Berners-Lee fails to convince CERN of a global hypertext system who knows how the internet would be shaped today. The linking of one massive web is what makes the internet what it is today.
In 1990, the code for the World Wide Web was written by Tim Berners-Lee, as well as Standards of HTML, HTTP, and URLs.
1990 is a massive year for the berth of the World Wide Web. This is the start of what WWW, which is what we use today to do so many things in this world. It’s the start of how we are in this online class, learning about web design. 1991 is WHY this is a class today.
