The Internet is a worldwide collection of networks that links millions of businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and individuals
The Internet originated as ARPANET in September 1969 and had two main goals:
- Allow scientists at different physical locations to share information and work together
- Function even if part of the network were disabled or destroyed by a disaster
Each organization is responsible only for maintaining its own network
- The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) oversees research and sets guidelines and standards
Internet2 connects more than 200 universities and 115 companies via a high-speed private network
Many home and small business users connect to the Internet via high-speed broadband Internet service
An access provider is a business that provides individuals and organizations access to the Internet free or for a fee
