INTRODUCTION TO CYBER SPACE(Part-2)

 History of Internet:

  •  The internet is one of those very useful inventions whose foundation was laid during cold war days. Russia launched the world’s first satellite, sputnik into the space on 4th october, 1957. This was clearly the victory of russia over the cyber space and as a counter step, advanced research projects agency, the research arm of department of defense , united states, declared the launch of arpanet(advanced research projects agency network) in early 1960’s.   
  • You will be surprised to know that the fist message that was sent over internet was “LO”. Actually they intended to send work “LOGIN” and only the first two letters reached its destination at second network node at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) and before the last three letters could reach the destination the network was down due to glitch. Soon the error was fixed and the message was resent and it.
