The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite to communicate between networks and devices. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the interlinked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing.

History

In the 1960s, computer scientists began developing systems for time-sharing of computer resources.20.21. J. C. R. Licklider proposed the idea of a universal network while working at Bolt Beranek & Newman and, later, leading the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) at the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the United States Department of Defense (DoD).

Governance

The Internet is a that comprises many voluntarily interconnected autonomous networks. It operates without a central governing body. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration, an agency of the United States Department of Commerce, had final approval over changes to the DNS root zone until the IANA stewardship transition on 1 October 2016.On 16 November 2005, the United Nations-sponsored World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis established the (IGF) to discuss Internet-related issues.

Performance

As the Internet is a heterogeneous network, the physical characteristics, including for example the of connections, vary widely. It exhibits that depend on its large-scale organization.

Social Impact

The Internet has enabled new forms of social interaction, activities, and social associations. This phenomenon has given rise to the scholarly study of the sociology of the Internet.

The early Internet left an impact on some writers who used symbolism to write about it, such as describing the Internet as a "means to connect individuals in a vast invisible net over all the earth.
