The Internet plays an important role in every person’s day to day activities. It’s in basic terms a worldwide system of computer networks, where any person has the ability to access a wide variety of information in a small period of time. When speaking about the internet, one should focus on the History of it as well.
The Idea behind the Internet was first started by J.C.R. Licklider who envisioned a globally interconnected set of computers through which everyone could quickly access data and programs from any site. After that Leonard Klein rock wrote the first ever paper on packet switching theory and the first book on the subject as well in 1964.Moreover developments showed that the Arpanet was designed and this eventually led to the world’s largest communication network, namely the World wide web. Internet was based on the idea that there would be multiple networks working independently based on random choice or personal decisions rather than any reason or system, beginning with the ARPANET as the packet switching network, but soon to include packet satellite networks, ground-based packet radio networks and other networks. Next we’ll be discussing the Purpose of the following organizations in creating and maintaining Internet Standards. There are four main organisations which will be discussed below; W3c, IETF, Isoc, IAB. Firstly, W3c is also known as the World Wide Web Consortium, their main purpose is to develop and maintain the standards of the web so that it is up to its fullest potential to provide the population with secure and reliable information and that it follows one direct standard. Secondly, The IETF which known as the Internet Engineering task force is run by a community of operators, designers and vendors who are responsible for making the Internet work better, in basic terms. It is free for anyone to join and the IETF’s main purpose is to make the internet process a relatively smooth one. Moreover, the Isoc is the Internet Society, which is a group of trusted people in an organization who are in charge of making sure the Internet, is a global platform for individuals to express their information and knowledge. It also allows them to be innovative without barriers. In addition, their purpose is to allow the promotion of the Internet, for social progress and be able for every being to have access to the Internet. Finally, the IAB, which is the Interactive Advertising Bureau, as the name suggests it is a Bureau, which is responsible and involves companies which provides services related to selling and distribution of digital advertising and media online.

TCP/IP is the primary communication language or also known as the protocol of the Internet. When you are permitted first hand access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program .It can also be used as a communications procedure in a secure network like an Internet or Extranet. TCP sends data in a form that appears to be transferred in a character-by-character fashion, rather than as separate packets. Next, we will be discussing the Importance of Protocols in Internet Services. Simultaneously millions of people around the world use the Internet and the Internet protocols are used to send data from one computer to another. The one way we can differentiate between these computers is by using an IP address thus it is very
