Internet is the technology and in simplest term network of networks. It is very simple technology made up of computers and cables which are connected. Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf are the one who created this technology.
It was their logical way of finding that how could one can send around “packets” of information to another network. The basic functionality of Internet is to just send chunk of information around the network which is called as Packets. We have more and more programs that now a days using Internet as a core technology such as email, file transfer, chat etc.
Another big revolution in the field of Computers was done by Berners-Lee’s alone. He designed the World Wide Web. It was Lee’s invention which boomed the connectivity around the world.
Now, People are doing business in Internet, from pornography to yoga coaching, YouTube-“Broad Cast Yourself” to Facebook, every body is using it, every time, any time and every where. Nokia-“Connecting People” which is sole organization which generates more revenue and handles one single country to Microsoft-“Your Potential Our passion”, where you can find “information at your finger tips”.
Biggest company does not become big in one day they become big by doing smaller things in different ways. The whole idea of is that we are addicted to Internet so much that we cannot be asked to imagine a day without it.
One day I was walking back from University to Home, I was walking alone talking with my self. I realized that what will happen if we do not have Internet for a day, then for months and may be for a whole entire future.
Again, many experts will prove me wrong, but can we prove wrong to Natural disaster? Why not some one could predict it before Tsunami came? Or why could not some one even thought about it? The point is just imagine a day without it.
A day without most useful, innovative, creative, informative and reliable technology today which goes down for a day, think!
