Although it often feels like the Internet has always been with us, it is actually a relatively new phenomenon compared to mature technologies such as television. What most people do not realize, however, there are a number of small improvements in a few decades, has dramatic consequences for its economic growth. It was during these evolutions that something critical has been added to the system, resulting in an easier to use or cheap to adopt. The most important factor is that the standards were developed by the Open, that is, anyone can use them, with a prosecution. In the next article covers major developments in the Internet, since its current form.
Birth: The Cold War
During the cold war, it is fair to say that fear is an important incentive, especially when it comes to the United States in defense spending. During the 1960s relations between the USSR and the United States, bitter future when the space race took center stage. Ostensibly, it was about putting satellites, then a person into space in order to further human development. In fact, it is the development of technology that would be one of the two parties in the province, the military. After the Soviets raised the stakes by launching Sputnik, the United States poured resources into numerous projects aimed at maintaining technical parity.
One of them was the ARPANET. This was the beginning for the Internet. It is a network of connected computers (or devices only 4 initially), which sent them to an informational packet. Value: Information sliced into many pieces, moving through the network, then re-assembled at the other end. Repeatedly, it was reported that the packet switched approach is adopted, since the network could survive a nuclear attack. Moreover, it can but this is not the reason for packet switching. The components were much less reliable than it is today, so that in the event of a failure, then the message will find an alternate route around a broken component. Rather, as a large fishing nets, with nodes representing each device (computer), and the lines are links between them. If you make a big tear in the net, there are many alternative ways of moving from one point to another.
In 1983, the military aspect of ARPANET broke Away (became MILNET) and the network began to move in another direction. The new protocol packet switching was developed TCP / IP network that could communicate across national borders, by adopting an agreed standard. TCP / IP-is still the Internet protocol currently in use (this is what IP stands for the part). Protocol is often called handshake, because if both sides agree to talk, and hands should be preceded him. What happens is that they agree with a common set of rules. For example: Protocol Rules for sending a letter / mail you should add one address, by mail or ZIP-code or print, or frank. This is a pre-agreed rules to successfully send the message.
In the Teen Years: CERN for remote access
European Organization for Nuclear Research (known as CERN) started to establish a TCP / IP network in 1980, that communication between the various member sites (12 countries, initially). In 1989 Tim Berners-Lee has started a project called to ask using Hypertext (HTML is a small part of the parent language SGML) to allow researchers to share information with each other using the TCP / IP network. View HTML browser contributes (at the beginning of a popular ViolaWWW), which hides the technical information and provides links (and later photos, videos, maps, etc.). Berners-Lee made a free technology that provides a quick interest in the project. At this time (with the introduction of the browser) the Internet has become a World Wide Web.
Mosaic was the first browser to get the global popularity, although mainly in academic circles in 1993. During the year, Netscape Navigator had it a year later the young Internet Explorer browser from Microsoft, was released. It was at this point that ISPs have begun to offer limited, unlimited Dial-Up-access to home users for a fee. In 1995, Alta Vista search technology introduced in an attempt to control the increasing volume of information added to the WWW.
Google in the market in 1999, while strong encryption protocol is implemented (SSL Secure Sockets Layer), the newly founded e-commerce sites, further adding fuel to the growth of the web. You can now safely buy goods, which will arrive via post. Amazon was one of the first companies in the market to determine the level of trust with clients so that they can easily key in your credit or debit card.
Average age: Web matures
After the Internet bubble burst in 2001, companies have tightened their models in the network, but does not stop in the growth of a user, or new websites. Widespread adoption of broadband has enabled global information online to become richer (pictures, videos, applications, etc.), which also caused an increase of other devices, carrying the Internet such as mobile phones and games consoles. In 2008, more people have access to WWW (globally), using mobile phones than computers. These growth spurts, usually followed by new technologies, or killer application, e-mail, as the first. Current trends commentators often refer to the WWW, as Web 2.0.
Web 2.0 includes joint activities on the web, including blogs, wikis, social networks: Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Flickr, twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc. There is no doubt that this has a significant impact on the fact that the Internet is used, but it is also worth noting that Google is still searching to get market share, so that almost three-quarters of the worlds searches, start with the search. It is essential that rank in the Google engine, you must be fresh, relevant and unique content with links that support what you are doing (and in the next leaving your website).
In many respects Web 2.0 heavily dependent on Googles site-ranking algorithms. Sites that do not offer do not get (in terms of traffic). They certainly deserve some credit for the way in which the Internet develops in such an egalitarian manner. Which Lets face it it is not a typical behavior for a global corporate giant.
Strictly speaking, AJAX is not a new technology though. It is rather a result of combining various technologies which have been pre-existing. It combines the benefits of server technologies such as XML, XHTML, XSLT, and CSS. AJAX also includes characteristics of JavaScript. These technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages. AJAX harnesses the advantages of all these technologies to produce applications which are robust and user-friendly. This is why so many clients turn to AJAX development services companies who provide them with web applications which are more responsive and provide for easier loading.
