Number of Internet Users (2016) Around 40% of the world population has an internet connection today (view all on a page ). In 1995, it was less than 1%. The number of internet users has increased tenfold from 1999 to 2013. The first billion was reached in 2005. Users * estimate for July 1, 2016 ** Internet User = individual who can access the Internet at home, via any device type and connection.

Internet - Our World In Data The internet has drastically changed the way we work, spend our leisure time and communicate with one another. It is estimated that the number of internet users worldwide is 3.17 billion and, if you are reading this online, you are one of them! In addition to this, there are an estimated 971 million websites currently online.1 The rise of the internet as well as the continued growth of access around the world and through different technologies is likely to continue to change our lives in unpredictable ways. Empirical View Growth of the Internet The number of Internet users worldwide has skyrocketed since the birth of the World Wide Web in 1990. Access to the Internet is almost universal in developed countries and although usage rates are much lower in the developing world, the trend is positive. A very recent development is the use of internet enabled mobile devices including phones and tablet computers. ARPNET: The Evolution of the Pre-Internet Content and Communication Digital Divide
Brief History of the Internet - Internet Timeline The original ARPANET grew into the Internet. Internet was based on the idea that there would be multiple independent networks of rather arbitrary design, beginning with the ARPANET as the pioneering packet switching network, but soon to include packet satellite networks, ground-based packet radio networks and other networks. The Internet as we now know it embodies a key underlying technical idea, namely that of open architecture networking. In an open-architecture network, the individual networks may be separately designed and developed and each may have its own unique interface which it may offer to users and/or other providers. including other Internet providers. The idea of open-architecture networking was first introduced by Kahn shortly after having arrived at DARPA in 1972. However, NCP did not have the ability to address networks (and machines) further downstream than a destination IMP on the ARPANET and thus some change to NCP would also be required.

History and Growth of the Internet from 1995 till TodayToday the Internet continues to grow day by day making McLuhan's Global Village a reality. The following table shows the incredibly fast evolution of the Internet from 1995 till the present time: Statistics of the InternetThe Internet has made distances shorter and the world smaller. However, the great divider that stands in the way of a truly global society is fact that there are many different different languages spoken in our planet Earth.
Internet in China - Wikipedia China has been on the Internet intermittently since May 1989 and on a permanent basis since 20 April 1994.[1] In 2008 China became the largest population on the Internet. As of 2016, approximately 50 percent of China's population had internet connectivity. [2] China's first foray into global cyberspace was an email (not TCP/IP based and thus technically not Internet) sent on 20 September 1987. It said "Across the Great Wall, we can reach every corner in the world" (simplified Chinese: 越过长城，走向世界; traditional Chinese: 越過長城，走向世界; pinyin: Yuèguò Chángchéng, Zǒuxiàng Shìjiè).[3] Development[edit] Internet Penetration Rates in East Asian and Chinese Regions 1995-2012 China had 618 million Internet users by the end of December 2013, a 9.5 percent increase over the year before and a penetration rate of 45.8%.[4] By June 2014, there were 632 million internet users in the country and a penetration rate of 46.9%.

Internet A WWW grafikus bemutatása, az információs struktúra a Wikipédia körül, ami a hiperlinkeket reprezentálja. Az internet olyan globális számítógépes hálózatok hálózata, ami az internetprotokoll (IP) révén felhasználók milliárdjait kapcsolja össze és lehetővé teszi olyan elosztott rendszerek működtetését, mint például a WWW (World Wide Web). Az internet kifejezés nemzetközileg elterjedt szó, az angol eredetű internetwork szóból ered, ami magyarul leginkább ’hálózatok hálózata’-ként adható vissza, szó szerint hálózatok közötti-t jelent. Az internet az egész világot körülölelő számítógép-hálózat, hatalmas rendszer, amely kisebb számítógép-hálózatokat fog össze. Ennek eredménye egyfajta kibertér, amely a valódi világ mellett alternatív teret biztosít. Az internet olyan gyorsan növekszik, hogy minden erre vonatkozó számadat pár hónap alatt elavul. Az internetnek nincs központi épülete. Sokszor felmerül a kérdés, hogy ki fizeti az internetet. Története[szerkesztés] A kezdet (előtt)i stádium, 1982
History of the Internet History of the Internet, a global system of interconnected computer networks The history of the Internet has its origin in the efforts to build and interconnect computer networks that arose from research and development in the United States and involved international collaboration, particularly with researchers in the United Kingdom and France.[1][2][3][4] Early packet switching networks such as the NPL network, ARPANET, Merit Network, and CYCLADES researched and provided data networking in the early 1970s. In the early 1980s, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded national supercomputing centers at several universities in the United States, and provided interconnectivity in 1986 with the NSFNET project, thus creating network access to these supercomputer sites for research and academic organizations in the United States. Foundations Precursors Early computers in the 1940s had a central processing unit and user terminals. Inspiration for networking and interaction with computers
