    The internet is also known as the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is a collection of electronic data files. These files are stored on computers which can be reached throughout the world. The Web has changed throughout the years and has really had an impact on our way of life. The Web makes it easier to handle technology. The internet can be found on your personal computer or mobile device. The URL (Uniform Resource Locater) will take you to the web page that you're looking for. A web site branches off to better explain the subject. Text links allow you to mouse over the text to get to a different web page.

    The internet has been around since the 1950’s. The main developers of the internet were Leonard Kleinrock and Lawrence Roberts to connect to other universities. General Keith Alexander is the commander of USCYBERCOM. The World Wide Web Consortium is said to govern the internet. The internet has truly changed from the 1950’s to the present. The computers have become lighter in weight and they can hold more information. I think that the internet will be used to create technology and medicine that has yet to be discovered. The internet takes up a large portion of my life. I use my computer for homework and social life.

    The people control the internet.
    They are called protocols.
    The Internet has involved into a social network.
    The original design of the internet has affected the development process because people keep adding websites and it is changing the design so we can use the websites easier.
    I think the internet will be used for School, like it is now, social websites for friends to talk to each other, everything will be on the internet soon enough.
    The internet effects my life by giving me a way to communicate among friends and family who don’t live near me and it has allowed me to experience many different things.

    The internet is a way to connect with people that you wouldn’t usually be able to connect with.
    The internet has been around about 40 years.
    J.C.R Licklider first proposed the idea of the internet in 1962; Leonard Klienrock came up with the idea of packet switching. The internet was made to make sure we could communicate even after a nuclear attack.
    The government controls the internet.
    General Keith Alexander.
    The internet has evolved by getting faster and more efficient.
    “Because nobody controls it and it can either be positive or negative.”-Wikipedia
    I think the internet will be used to teach elementary school and high school in the future.
    The internet makes my life much easier by letting me communicate with people more easily and faster and by making research just a question away instead of having to get books.

    The Web is a collection of electronic files that are linked together.
    Nobody can pin down the exact date of the Internet’s creation, because many inventions and ideas led to its creation. But the closest to an actual date people can come to for its creation is around 40 years ago.
    The Internet was developed in part by three men: J.C.R Licklider, Leonard Kleinrock, and Lawrence Roberts. The Internet was developed partly so that there was a type of communications network that would work even if some sites were destroyed by some kind of nuclear attack.
    General Keith Alexander controls the Pentagon’s cyber networks, but I don’t believe that any one person really can control the whole Internet.
    No one makes rules as to how the Internet can be used. Sites can be blocked, virus’s sent into a person’s hard drive, but nobody can control what the Internet does. Like Eric Schmidt stated, “The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity does not understand.”
    The Internet has evolved from being an expensive, time-consuming endeavor that only the wealthy or scientists used, to a common household item used by almost everyone.
    I think in the future, the Internet will be used for virtually everything we will need to do. We can already shop for basically anything that we would ever need, and research anything we want to know. In the future, people will just become more and more dependent on the Internet.
    The Internet makes it much easier to find information that I might need to know for school work, it helps me keep in touch with family and friends, and allows me to view the most up-to-date news and opinions.

    The Internet is a worldwide group of electronic files that are linked together.
    The Internet has been around since about 1969 when Tim Berners-Lee, J.C.R. Licklider, Robert Taylor , and others got involved.
    They first created this as a Defense Department project. It was for wartime digital communications because the telephone system was problematic.
    No one controls the Internet. Separate governments have control over their own citizens, but the Internet is managed by several well-known organizations that work together, like the Internet Society .
    These groups work in a relatively democratic environment to participate in research, management, and improvement of the Internet.
    The internet evolved so much over the years. At one time, if you wanted to retrieve a file, you had very high phone bills to call the computer you want to connect with.
    The original design of the Internet affected its developments in a positive way, because it led the way for others to improve and create what we have today.
    I think I will use the Internet at college for every assignment. I will also use it someway at work in the future.
    The internet has affected my life greatly. I use it every day at home, in school, and everywhere I go on my phone. Without the internet today, most thing would be impossible, like having almost everything at our fingertips.

    The Internet is a worldwide collection of computer networks, cooperating with each other to exchange data using a common software standard. Through telephone wires and satellite links, Internet users can share information in a variety of forms.
    The internet has been around since the early 1960s.
    J.C.R. Licklider of MIT, first proposed a global network of computers in 1962, and moved over to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in late 1962 to head the work to develop it. The internet was made to make sure we could communicate even after a nuclear attack.

  17. The internet is a world wide web for anyone to use and it is a way to communicate with people anywhere and it can do many things and you can also play games and a ton of other stuff.
    The internet has been around for 40 plus years since the 1960’s.
    The internet was invented by the DARPA the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for the reason to share information and other things and to share defense research between involved universities and defense research facilities.
    We don’t really know who controls the internet it is a question everyone is asking.
    The World Wide Web Consortium makes the rules of the internet.
    The internet has evolved because now we are able to communicate with others online and other sites on computers instead of using telegraphs and train to send messages we can do it right from our house or something.
    The original design of the internet affected its development because now everyone all over the world can communicate from each other face to face and other things instead of going somewhere in person.
    I think the internet will be used in the future by new technology and better ways to use the internet will be created and there will be even better ways to get information easier.
    The internet affects my life because it allows me to get information on stuff I don’t know and I can talk to people from it.

    DARPA Invented for the US army.
    The Internet isn’t controlled my anything.
    Every autonomous network on the internet makes its own rules.
    The internet has evolved by becoming more efficient as more people used it.
    The original design of the internet was to help the army, but people kept adding and adding to it. It changed from being just useful to the army to being useful to everyone.
    I think the internet will be changed in the future by being faster and more helpful to us.
    The internet affects my life by helping me talk to my friends and with helping me find research for school work.

    The Internet is a collection of electronic files that are stored on computers, or web servers, that are all around the world. The Internet has enabled electronic commerce to grow and the Web has turned into a global electronic publishing medium.
    The Internet has been around since the 1960’s.
    The initial idea was Leonard Kleinrock’s, and the creators of the Internet are Steve Carr, Steve Crocker, Jeff Rulifson, Ron Stoughton, Paul Baran, Thomas Marill, Lawrence Roberts, and Barry Wessler. They developed the Internet because the government needed a way to communicate with each other so that they could beat the Russian’s to the moon.
    The Internet is controlled by no one.
    The rules that govern how the Internet is used are created by IETF, IESG, RFC’s, and The World Wide Web Consortium.
    The Internet has evolved from being used for only government/military purposes to people all over the world being able to communicate and share their thoughts across the world. Also people can now find information in seconds when using the search engines on the Internet.
    The original design of the Internet has affected its development by instead of only government and military officials being allowed to use it to everyone being allowed to use it and share their thoughts and find information quicker and more efficiently.
    In the future I think people will be able to use the Internet to operate their houses, like closing the windows, no matter where they are, and they will be able to operate almost everything off of their cell phone while there halfway across the country.
    The Internet affects my life by me now being able to check grades at home, to turn in homework over the computer, find recipes, and communicate with my family and friends.

  21. The Internet has been around since the 1960’s Larry Roberts developed the internet for the U.S. Department of defense.
    Proxies control the internet. There is no governing body over the internet. The internet is available to the general public instead of just the military. The original design was meant to carry over info using large computer engines now we maximize ability, I think the internet will be used in place of all land lines.
    I use it for school and when I’m bored.

    The Internet- A network of systems that all work together and have information that other systems can see. It allows others to connect with each other and get information.

    The Internet has been around since the 1960s.

    It was Leonard Kleinrock’s idea of the internet. But many people helped develop it. It was for others to share information on research and development in scientific and military fields.
    No one controls the internet.
    No single authority governs how the Internet is used and makes rules.
    The Internet evolved a lot; you can research anything and find it. It was just for military and scientific purposes but now people have social networks for communication. There were not things like that when the internet came out, it has evolved a lot.
    The original design of the Internet affected its development by having it just for the military and government allowed to use it to everyone using it. It spread around for people to research and communicates between it.

    I think things will be faster and easier to receive information from the Internet. Internet will have wifi anywhere and you will be able to find it anywhere.

    The internet affects my life by, it makes things a lot easier to research things and talk to people.
