was that the way the packets went through the net was not important. That means that if one node was destroyed, the rest of the nodes would still be able to communicate. This is of course was inefficient and rather slow, but extremely reliable. The Internet still uses this method nowadays, and there has been only one collective crash so far. The Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) wanted to install an advanced network based on the principles in the US. The network was called ARPANET
The History of the Internet When one thinks of the internet, one may think of America Online, Yahoo!, or of Sandra Bullock being caught up in an espionage conspiracy.

What we know today as the Internet began as a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) project in 1969, which was designed to connect several research databases across the country. However, until the end of 1991, the advances were almost completely technical, as the goals set by those responsible in its growth were beyond what the hardware was capable of providing. In 1988, the Internet began to receive attention in the popular press, when the first documented computer virus was released
Q.1) History Of Internet The origins of Internet track back to the late 1960s when the United States Defense Department created Arpanet (Advanced Research Projects Agency arrange), an exploratory system of machines intended to withstand halfway blackouts, for example, a bombing.

The ENIAC was developed by two important keystone species, John William Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert Jr. The ENIAC was absolutely humongous; it stood
In the early 60’s, a group of visionaries anticipated the very idea of the Internet that shortly after the cold war, the U.S Department of Defence (DOD) began to realize the incredible potential value that shall come from a control center system that protects the flow of information between in case of nuclear attacks, by establishing a network of computers geographically distributed and sharing data. So, they funded the Advanced Research Project Agency (APRA) to start a project (Bellis, 2011). APRA
