History Of The Internet Flashcards
Beyond the ARPANET, there were many other networks in use during the 1970s. Which of the following networks was based in France and pioneered the use of computer network for research purposes (as seen in the intro video at the beginning of this module
CYCLADES
The first ARPANET connection was between UCLA and Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Who was the researcher at UCLA that helped develop the packet switching technology that was used during that first connection, which he was able to witness in person
Leanoard Kleinrock
According to the notes taken from the first ARPANET connection between UCLA and Stanford Research Institute (SRI), what was the first message sent across the network before it crashed
Lo
J.C.R. Licklider envisioned a global network of computers that would allow users to access any information or functions available on any computer. What was the name he gave to this network he envisioned?
Intergalactic Computer Network
In the 1970s, work began to improve the connections between hosts on the ARPANET by what two researchers, who were awarded the presidential medal of freedom in 2005?
Vinton Cerf & Robert Kahn
Packet switching on the early ARPANET was accomplished through the use of what device, which connected the various computer systems together and is the precursor to the modern router?
(IMP) Interface message processor
J.C.R. Licklider wrote about his vision for a global network of computers in a 1962 book with what title?
Man-Computer Symbiosis
At the end of the 1990s and the early 2000s, interest in the web reached a peak and saw unprecedented levels of growth, until the market crashed in 2001. That period is known by what name?
The Dot-Com Boom
Tim Berners-Lee realized that the internet of the 1980s didn’t make it easy to access freely available information. So, he set out to solve that problem by creating the core technologies to freely distribute information across the internet. The resulting set of freely available information across interconnected pages is what we now know by what name?
The World Wide Web
Following the events of the early 2000s, the internet underwent one more major shift away from content creation being done by a few individuals, and instead the creation of content on the internet being put in the hands of the masses. This new concept came to be known by what name
Web 2.0
As more networks adopted the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) on their networks, they were able to communicate and unify into a single global network. Today, we call that unified “network of networks” by what name
The internet
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was developed to help improve network connections. Which of the features below was NOT given in the slides as a key feature of TCP
More data can be transmitted per packet
In the videos, we discuss several early web browsers. Which one was co-developed at the University of Kansas
Lynx
To help encourage network administrators to adopt the new TCP instead of the older protocols, Vinton Cerf used his power as administrator of the ARPANET to do what in the early 1980s, according to the interview video in this module
Temporary disable the older protocols
