The Evolution of the Internet

The video explores the origins of the Internet, starting with the Cold War era when the US military created ARPA to regain technological superiority. This led to the development of ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet. Despite initial challenges in communication between different computer systems, the introduction of TCP/IP protocols facilitated global networking. The Internet became more accessible with the creation of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. The video highlights the contributions of pioneering researchers and the role of the US government in the Internet's development.
