Who invented the Internet?
Not one person invented the internet. When networking technology was developed numerous scientists and engineers brought all their research together and created what was called the ARPANET. Paul Baran was an engineer whose work overlapped with ARPA’s research. By 1959 he joined the American think tank what was called the RAND corporation. By 1964 Baran created a communication network with no central command point. If one point was destroyed, all surviving points would still be able to communicate with each other it was called distributed network.
Lawrence Roberts was a Chief scientist at ARPA. He was responsible for coming up with the development of computer networks. Paul Baran’s idea sparked Roberts to start working on the creation of a distributed network.
Leonard Klienrock is an American Scintist who worked towards the creation of a distributed network alongside Lawrence Roberts. Donald Davies was a british scientist who was working at the same time as Roberts and Klienrock and was developing a similar technology at the National Physical Laboratory.
Many others also had a hand in creating what we know today as the internet it takes a community to create the biggest community online we know today
Who invented the IP Address?
Bob Kahin and Vint Cerf are the American scientist who developed the IP adress system. It is a set of protocols that governs how data moves through a network. With the development of The IP it helped the ARPANET evolve into what we know was the internet today.
Who Created the World Wide Web?
Tim Berners Lee is known for creating what we know as The world wide web. He also developed different principles we still use today which include HTML, HTTP URLs and web browsers.
Marc Andreessen is the inventor of the first globally used web browser called the “Mosaic”.
