From dial-up connections with the most awful tone to the fastest wireless broadband connections like the remote 5G technology &#8211; this article will cover a brief guide into the transformation and evolution of internet technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_it_All_Began-_Scope_of_the_Internet\"><\/span><b>Where it All Began- Scope of the Internet<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re all aware of the many conspiracy theories about the different kinds of experiments taking place in our government facilities. With the internet, that\u2019s exactly what happened. During the \u201960s at the peak of the cold war, the U.S. Department of Defense wanted to create a means of communication for their armed forces over a connected network that can also be distributed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) &#8211; the military research division &#8211; was given this project. Their research and work are what began the age of internet technology. ARPA created the first computers that were able to communicate with one another. They conveniently called this system ARPANET.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ARPANET during the late \u201960s had become a network for the very elite of society. These technologies were only available to a few military installations and universities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first computers connected through ARPANET were colossal in comparison to today\u2019s computers. The SDS sigma 7 was one of the first commercially available computers which sold at a whopping $700,000. The first message sent through this computer was from the University of California to Standford university in the mid-\u201960s.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Age_of_Dial-Up_Connection_and_The_World_Wide_Web\"><\/span><b>The Age of Dial-Up Connection and The World Wide Web<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concept of computers began to grow rapidly in the &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s. More advancements had been made and there was more public awareness of them. But it wasn&#8217;t until 1996 that we got the infamous dial-up internet connection that made the internet commercially available to the world. The dial-up connection offered speeds of 56kbps &#8211; these speeds would take 3.5 days for us to download a 1GB file. Ain\u2019t nobody got time for that today, but back then that was fast!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Dial-up becoming increasingly available, the concept of a World Wide Web began to emerge. Information could be shared globally via a network with everyone connected to it. Students at the University of Illinois led by Marc Andreesen began their research into this. In the early 90s, Marc Andreesen and his team left the university and founded Netscape &#8211; The first commercial web browser that many people used. During the mid-90s Netscape had 80% of the web browsing market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t until the late 90s that Microsoft came out with more advanced web browsing technology and began dominating the market. Microsoft has remained unchallenged in its dominance probably all the way until the emergence of mobile web technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Age_of_Broadband_and_the_Ease_of_Having_a_Wireless_Internet-_Scope_of_the_Internet\"><\/span><b>The Age of Broadband and the Ease of Having a Wireless Internet- Scope of the Internet<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around the mid-2000s broadband internet and wi-fi had become the talk of the town. With more and more users signing up their prices began to fall as well, making it even more accessible. They were different than dial-ups. They didn&#8217;t require a telephone line to offer internet access and would remain connected unless turned off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering speeds of up to 25mbps download and 3mbps upload made working online a lot more fun and easier. It was because of this ease that YouTube was founded in 2005. Online video streaming had never been easier before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 2005 there were more broadband connections than dial-ups and by 2015 it controlled about 80% of the user market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cellular_Internet_or_Data_%E2%80%93_This_is_What_the_Future_Looks_Like\"><\/span><b>Cellular Internet or Data &#8211; This is What the Future Looks Like!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you think the age of broadband is what got us to where we are today, you&#8217;re going to be amazed at what advances in mobile technology will do for us in the next few years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cellular internet is connecting to the internet using your phone. In 2013 there were estimated to be around 1.9 billion subscribers to smartphones. Today that number has surpassed 6 billion subscribers, that\u2019s an increase of 200% over the last few years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smartphones are becoming increasingly more available at cheaper prices, making them evermore available to their users. They can range anywhere from $50 to $1000 &#8211; All of them being able to connect you to the internet wherever you may be at unbelievable fast speeds like 4G LTE or the latest 5G internet technology offering speeds of up to 1Gbps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The internet has become as necessary as food and water.
