#11 History of the Internet

I'm so bored, I've got nothing to do. Therefore, I just look at something in order to update my blog for Networked Media Production subject. Thus, I searched about History of the Internet.

The Internet was ARPANET (in USA)
Advanced Research Projects Agency used to connect computer networks across USA and then across around the world.

Anyway, people used it for sending the data. Unfortunately, the Internet at that time is so slow, and the data is quite huge! Thank God that humans are so clever, they chop the data down in order to make it smaller [called 'Packet switching'].

However, they got some problem with the data because the receivers did not know which data comes first. Therefore, every time when they send the packet switching, they attached Metadata, which controls the direction of packet switching, as well.
