Ubani owasungula i-Internet, futhi ithini indaba yokusungulwa kwakhe?

Nakuba singasakwazi ukucabanga ngempilo yethu yansuku zonke ngaphandle kokuba khona kwayo, empeleni yayingekho ngaphambili, ngakho-ke i-intanethi yasungulwa futhi yathuthukiswa kanjani, okwakuyizwe lokuqala eyavela kulo, futhi umphakathi waqala nini ukuyisebenzisa, zonke lezi izimpendulo sizokuphendula ngokunembile kulo mbiko,

I-inthanethi ithuthuke ngaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi amane ukusuka kokuhlangenwe nakho kwezempi kuya kubuchwepheshe obusetshenziswa cishe abantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezine emhlabeni jikelele.

Impi Yomshoshaphansi ihlonishwa ngokubeka isisekelo se-inthanethi. Kwakuyinkathi lapho kunesidingo esiphuthumayo sokuklama uhlelo lwezokuxhumana lapho kubhekene nanoma yikuphi ukuhlasela kwenuzi.

Futhi iSoviet Union yabeka ikhanda layo phambili kulo mjaho, ngo-1957, futhi yanyakazisa isikhungo sezokuvikela saseMelika, ngokwethula isathelayithi edume kakhulu, iSputnik.

IWashington yaba namahloni kodwa yalinda kwaze kwaba unyaka wama-58 futhi iPentagon yasungula i-ARPA Agency for Advanced Research Projects.

Umsebenzi wawuwukuthola ukunqoba kwezobuchwepheshe ngokumelene ne-Red Army, eyasika i-ribbon ekunqotshweni kwendawo, nokukhiqiza inethiwekhi yezokuxhumana uma kwenzeka iphoqeleka ukuphendula isiteleka senuzi.

I-ARPA igunyaze amanyuvesi nezikhungo ukuthi ziqedele ucwaningo lwayo. Wanikezwa amakhompyutha.

Kodwa idivayisi ngayinye yayinolimi lokuhlela oluhlukile, futhi ngenxa yalokho ayikwazanga ukusebenza njengesisetshenziswa esabiwe, ngakho-ke umqondo we-ARPANET wavela ngo-1966 lapho uqala ukubuka i-intanethi.

Isisekelo senethiwekhi ukwakhiwa kwezindlela zokuxhumana phakathi kwamadivayisi adlula isidingo sokuthumela idatha ngekhompyutha ephakathi.

Ososayensi babekezela futhi bathola i-hit ngo-69 lapho ikhompuyutha evela eNyuvesi yaseCalifornia kanye nekhompyutha yase-SRI Research Institute ixhunywe kusetshenziswa isimiso se-ARPANET izala i-Inthanethi.

Ngo-1990, isici sezempi esikhethekile se-inthanethi saphela, singenisa inkathi yombango, nokuqinisekisa ukuqhubeka nokusabalala kwayo, yenziwa yangasese.

Ngo-'94 izinkampani ezizimele zathatha inethiwekhi. Futhi ngaqala ukusebenza ngesimiso esaziyo namuhla.
