Описание: GOOD TO KNOW: History of Internet Episode 9

Discover the fascinating history of the Internet — from its early military beginnings to the powerful global network that connects billions of people today. In this video, we explore how a simple idea to share information between computers evolved into one of the most important inventions in human history.

The journey begins in the 1960s with ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency), which developed ARPANET, the first packet-switching network. This groundbreaking system allowed computers to communicate across long distances and laid the foundation for everything that followed.

In 1983, a major breakthrough came with the creation of the TCP/IP protocol, enabling different networks to connect and communicate — forming what we now call “the Internet.” But the Internet as we know it truly took off in 1991 when Tim Berners-Lee introduced the World Wide Web, making it easy for people to access and share information using web browsers.

The 1990s saw explosive growth with companies like Netscape, Yahoo!, and later Google transforming how we search and navigate online. The rise of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube changed communication forever.

Today, the Internet powers everything from online education and digital banking to streaming, gaming, artificial intelligence, and global business. It has reshaped how we learn, work, shop, and connect with others — making the world more interconnected than ever before.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• How ARPANET started
