Introduction to Internet


Book Description

The Internet is a global network of interconnected devices and communication systems that enables individuals to access a wide range of information and resources from anywhere in the world. The origins of the Internet can be traced back to the 1960s, when the US Department of Defense created a network of computers to exchange information and facilitate communication among researchers and scientists. This network, known as ARPANET, became the foundation for the Internet as we know it today. Over the past few decades, the Internet has undergone a remarkable transformation, becoming an essential tool for communication, commerce, education, and entertainment. The advent of the web in the 1990s marked a major milestone in the evolution of the Internet, as it enabled individuals to publish and access information in a decentralized manner. Today, the Internet is an ever-expanding ecosystem that comprises billions of websites, social media platforms, e-commerce sites, online communities, and more – all of which are powered by advanced technologies and infrastructure that enable quick, reliable access to information and services.

Signposts in Cyberspace


Book Description

The Domain Name System (DNS) enables user-friendly alphanumeric namesâ€"domain namesâ€"to be assigned to Internet sites. Many of these names have gained economic, social, and political value, leading to conflicts over their ownership, especially names containing trademarked terms. Congress, in P.L. 105-305, directed the Department of Commerce to request the NRC to perform a study of these issues. When the study was initiated, steps were already underway to address the resolution of domain name conflicts, but the continued rapid expansion of the use of the Internet had raised a number of additional policy and technical issues. Furthermore, it became clear that the introduction of search engines and other tools for Internet navigation was affecting the DNS. Consequently, the study was expanded to include policy and technical issues related to the DNS in the context of Internet navigation. This report presents the NRC's assessment of the current state and future prospects of the DNS and Internet navigation, and its conclusions and recommendations concerning key technical and policy issues.
