Short History of Internet

A few thirty years ago, the rand corporation, americas foremost cold war think-tank, faced a wierd strategic problem. How may the us authorities successfully communicate from a nuclear war ?

Postnuclear america would want a command-and-control network, linked from town to town, state to state, base to base. However in spite of how thoroughly that network was armored or protected, its switches and wiring would perpetually be vulnerable in the impact of atomic bombs. A nuclear attack would scale back any conceivable network to tatters.

Bill Gate’s view on Internet Education

The internet is nowadays a very good supply for entertainment, other then if you really stop to think about it’s conjointly a very good supply of knowledge for many of people. Every and every person of people has used the online for learning one thing a minimum of once, whether or not it was eventually concerning learning how to help make pancakes or how you can alter a banner in photoshop. Since every one of us have some laptop in the following household and internet access, as long as search engines like google provide as abundant data as they will do currently, bloggers post attention-grabbing data and internet encyclopedias like wikipedia exist, there’s no reason in the slightest degree why we’d wish to travel towards the nearest library. Physical books have become less well liked as every day passes by. Still throw in a few new technology much like the kindle e-reader sold by amazon as well as ipad and books are suddenly attention-grabbing once more. Solely 5 days once the launch the kindle utterly sold out. Guess what, individuals were using it, to understand stuff. This can be whereas faculty teachers still be required to struggle to convince very little ones to grab a paper cover book.
