The Internet started off with research into what was known as packet switching.
Packet switching was thought of as a better and faster method to transfer data than the hardware
solution to the problem. The packet switching technology was essential to the development of
ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) by the United States Military. This system
was used to transfer confidential data between the Military. first at 56 kbit/s, then at 1.5 Mbit/s, and
then at 45 Mbit/s. Com Internet service providers began to arise in the late 1980s and the internet
was fully commercialized in the US by 1995.
Local Area Network (LAN): A LAN is two or more connected laptops or computers or phones sharing
information with each other in a small geographic location. For example, a network of computers at
your home or work.
Wide Area Network (WAN): A WAN is basically two or more interconnected LANs. These networks
are farther apart than the systems in LAN. They can communicate via telephone lines or radio waves.
World Wide Web, which is also known as a Web, is a collection of websites or web pages stored in
web servers and connected to local computers through the internet. These websites contain text
pages, digital images, audios, videos, etc.
Users can access the content of these sites from any part of the world over the internet. The
building blocks of the Web are web pages that are formatted in HTML and connected by links called
"hypertext" or hyperlinks and accessed by HTTP.
