Answers
Answer:
The history of the Internet begins with the development of electronic computers in the 1950s. Initial concepts of wide area networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.[1] The U.S. Department of Defense awarded contracts as early as the 1960s, including for the development of the ARPANET project, directed by Robert Taylor and managed by Lawrence Roberts. The first message was sent over the ARPANET in 1969 from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to the second network node at Stanford Research Institute (SRI).
the 10 most popular uses of the Internet in descending order of use are:
Electronic mail. At least 85% of the inhabitants of cyberspace send and receive e-mail. Some 20 million e-mail messages cross the Internet every week.
Research.
Downloading files.
Discussion groups. These include public groups, such as those on Usenet, and the private mailing lists that ListServ manages.
Interactive games. Who hasn’t tried to hunt down at least one game?
Education and self-improvement. On-line courses and workshops have found yet another outlet.
Friendship and dating. You may be surprised at the number of electronic "personals" that you can find on the World Wide Web.
Electronic newspapers and magazines. This category includes late-breaking news, weather, and sports. We’re likely to see this category leap to the top five in the next several years.
Job-hunting. Classified ads are in abundance, but most are for technical positions.
Shopping. It’s difficult to believe that this category even ranks. It appears that "cybermalls" are more for curious than serious shoppers.
