Origins of the Internet

1957 - Russia launches the first satellite into space -

Sputnik.

The U.S. responds by forming the Advanced

Research Projects Agency (ARPA) designed to give

the U.S. a lead in using science and technology

applicable to the military.

1968 - Larry Roberts wrote the first design plans for

ARPANET

1969 - ARPANET (the Internet) - was designed in

response to the cold war

The Invention of World Wide Web

What drove Tim Berners-Lee to imagine this game-

changing model for information sharing?

Tim Berners-Lee was a software consultant

at CERN in the 1980s when he began writing

Tangle, an application to help him keep track of

CERN's many scientists, projects and

incompatible computers

He thought it would be a whole lot simpler if

the computers could swap their information

directly, even though, at that time, computers

didn't communicate with one another.21

The Web

The Web turned out to be the killer app of all time

The three main innovations

HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)

Allows you to click on a link and be brought to that Web page

URLs (Universal Resource Locators)

22

The Web

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

Gives you the ability to put links in documents and

pages so they connect

23

The Birth of Google

Larry Page noticed that while it was trivial to follow

links from one page to another, it was nontrivial to

discover links back

He thought it would be useful to know who was linking to

whom

Academics build their papers on a carefully constructed

foundation of citation

Each paper reaches a conclusion by citing previously

published papers as proof points that advance the

author's argument24

Project BackRub

Larry Page and Sergey Brin's attempts to reverse

engineer Berners-Lee's World Wide Web that led to

Google

The needle that threads these efforts together is

citation brings us back to the original research Page

did on such backlinks, a project he came to call

BackRub

25

The Birth of Google

Page came up with the concept of weighted ranking,

while Brin (left) figured out the math

PageRank worked by analyzing links, the bigger the

Web, the better the engine

That fact inspired the founders to name their new

engine Google, after googol, the term for the numeral

1 followed by 100 zeroes26

The Revolution of a Phone

Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone that was

used by virtually every human on earth

You can use a smart phone to record and view events

You can also share your clip video to the whole world’s

population via a phone

You can read emails, play games, and join social network

via a phone

You can also edit and view the documents on a phone

You can share comments and recommendations about

whatever you have seen

A Modern Smart Phone

Social Network on Smart Phone

The Birth of iPod

Tony Fadell had an idea to take an MP3 player,

build a Napster music sale service to

complement it, and build a company around it

“This is the project that's going to remold Apple

and 10 years from now, it's going to be a music

business, not a computer business," Fadell

predicted in early 2001.30

The Birth of iPhone by Steve Jobs

We all had cell phones. We just hated them,

they were so awful to use. The software was

terrible. The hardware wasn't very good

It was a great challenge. Let's make a great

phone that we fall in love with
