Visualization of the various routes through portion of the Internet
The
Internet is a global system of interconnected
computer networks that use the standard
Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a
network of networks that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by
copper wires,
fiber-optic cables,
wireless connections, and other technologies. The Internet carries a vast array of
information resources and services, most notably the inter-linked
hypertext documents of the
World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support
electronic mail. In addition it supports popular services such as
online chat,
file transfer and
file sharing,
gaming,
commerce,
social networking,
publishing,
video on demand, and
teleconferencing and
telecommunications.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications allow person-to-person communication via voice and video.
The origins of the Internet reach back to the 1960s when the United States funded research projects of its military agencies to build robust, fault-tolerant and distributed computer networks. This research and a period of civilian funding of a new U.S.
backbone by the
National Science Foundation spawned worldwide participation in the development of new networking technologies and led to the
commercialization of an international network in the mid 1990s, and resulted in the following popularization of countless applications in virtually every aspect of modern human life. As of 2009, an estimated quarter of Earth's population uses the services of the Internet.
