HuskyCaucasian Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 There are actually 2 internets to be honest. One is what is now the common internet. It started as a research net, but as time has gone by it expanded into what we now call the internet. Recently, I believe a second internet was started. Since the current internet has gone away from research and thought shareing (turned into a free for all porn shop) they started a pure research net. I dont have a link and I am going on memory on this one. But Bush was kind of right. There are at least 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The global Internet's progenitor was the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) of the U.S. Department of Defense. This is an important fact to remember, because the support and style of management by ARPA was crucial to the success of ARPANET. As the Internet develops and the struggle over the role the Internet plays unfolds, it will be important to remember how the network developed and the culture that it was connected with. (As a facilitator of communication, the culture of the Net is an important feature to acknowledge.) The ARPANET Completion Report, as published jointly by BBN of Cambridge, Mass., and ARPA concludes by stating: "...it is somewhat fitting to end on the note that the ARPANET program has had a strong and direct feedback into the support and strength of computer science, from which the network itself sprung." (Chapter III, pg.132, Section 2.3.4) In order to understand the wonder that the Internet, and various parts of the Net, represent, we need to understand why the ARPANET Completion report ends with the suggestion that the ARPANET is fundamentally connected to and born of computer science.
