A History of Computer Networking
Computer Networking refers to the group of computers or devices interconnected to share resources and communicate with other devices.
What is Computer Networking?
The Current Population of the world is around 7.6 billion and if we see the no of devices connected to the Internet is around 50 billion so every person is using around 6 devices that are connected to the internet. This number is increasing since the first usage of computer networking. Everything is getting automated and has capabilities to communicate and manage themselves all due to the power of computer networking.
You are not able to read this article by just searching about the topic and getting the results in just a few milliseconds. You can use Google, YouTube, and watch other content with just by few clicks all because of the Powerful Network Called the Internet. Internet is the Network of Networks Where every device connected to the network can access anything on the internet.
For every Achievement, We need to go through lots of failures and testing. So Let’s see the origin and evolution of the computer network and why it was created. And how it developed into the Internet with these huge Functionalities.
Timeline of Computer Networks
Before computers and Networks, The only way of Communication was Telegraph by sending messages income codes like Morse, Cypher, or Creaser codes. Then soon it evolved into Telecommunication using cables Which were invented by Alexander Graham Bell. And after computers came into existence we needed a network to handle them. So let’s the timeline of the events.
The Year might not be Accurate but are closely near to them
- 1836–1840 : These was the initial stages of communication where People thought there should be a mechanism for communicating with each other Telegraph is the only method they used to communicate in this period
- 1858–1866: Communication via Cables was developing in these years. Cables were set up between towns and cities for communication. But this was limited to only a few places.
- 1875–1880: The Telephone device developed by Alexander Graham Bell was taken into consideration and accepted as a device for communication. This was the initial step for computer networks.
- 1957: US forms an agency known as Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) By the department of defense for developing Us in computer Technology as Russia or USSR launches the First satellite into space Sputnik.
