Audio Script:
The Internet, a global system of interconnected computer networks, has a fascinating history. Its origins can be traced back to the early 1960s when the United States Department of Defense developed ARPANET, the precursor to the modern Internet. ARPANET was designed to enable researchers to share information more efficiently.
In the 1970s, the development of the TCP/IP protocol suite by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn was a critical milestone. This set of communication protocols laid the foundation for data exchange over the network. By the 1980s, ARPANET had evolved and began to connect with other networks, creating a network of networks, which we now call the Internet.
The 1990s saw a rapid expansion of the Internet. In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web, making the Internet accessible to the general public. This invention allowed users to navigate the Internet using browsers and hyperlinks, revolutionizing the way people accessed information. The first web browser, Mosaic, was released in 1993 and played a significant role in popularizing the Internet.
Today, the Internet is an integral part of daily life, facilitating communication, commerce, and entertainment across the globe. Its continued evolution promises even more advancements in the future.
