The Internet was the result of some visionary thinking by people in the early 1960s who saw great potential value in allowing computers to share information on research and development in scientific and military fields. 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. Leonard Kleinrock of MIT and later UCLA developed the theory of packet switching, which was to form the basis of Internet connections. Lawrence Roberts of MIT connected a Massachusetts computer with a California computer in 1965 over dial-up telephone lines. It showed the feasibility of wide area networking, but also showed that the telephone line’s circuit switching was inadequate. Kleinrock’s packet switching theory was confirmed. Roberts moved over to DARPA in 1966 and developed his plan for ARPANET. These visionaries and many more left unnamed here are the real founders of the Internet.
The Internet, then known as ARPANET, was brought online in 1969 under a contract let by the renamed Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) which initially connected four major computers at universities in the southwestern US (UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, UCSB, and the University of Utah). The contract was carried out by BBN of Cambridge, MA under Bob Kahn and went online in December 1969. By June 1970, MIT, Harvard, BBN, and Systems Development Corp (SDC) in Santa Monica, Cal. were added. By January 1971, Stanford, MIT’s Lincoln Labs, Carnegie-Mellon, and Case-Western Reserve U were added. In months to come, NASA/Ames, Mitre, Burroughs, RAND, and the U of Illinois plugged in. After that, there were far too many to keep listing here. View full article »



1) You can become a better researcher
The main advantage of the Internet is that communication is made very easy. Two people on opposite sides of the world may communicate with each other via such things as videoconferences. This would save money on flights to other countries just to have a meeting when they can each communicate from their own office.
Some years before exile Bhutanese were less interested to form websites and blogs.They used to read the newspaper published in exile.But now www.bhutannewsservice.com,www.refugeesvoice.wordpress.com, www.refugeetimes.blogspot.com and many more are the sites/blogs opened for exile Bhutanese by the Bhutanese itself.Invention of different background of websites and blogs makes the world communicative,closer and wide the narrow mentality.Above websites and blogs are too much important to exile Bhutanese to know the current news regarding Bhutanese.development of sites and blogs at this time in exile is necessary to alive out history,literature and regular updates of the situation which gives challenges to the Bhutan government,who is censoring press activities in this 21st century.
We can use internet as media. We can unleash the power of internet in shaping the future of our community.

Internet is a global computer network providing a variety of information and communicatipn facilities. We can get ainformation about anything that are stored in internet, within a second through internet. Internet helps us to learn, study, know, view, listen, watch etc. We can watch/view/Listen pictures, videos, audios of various information with the help of internet.
