17. Origins of the Internet
 1957 - Russia launches the first satellite into space -
Sputnik.
 The U.S. responds by forming the Advanced
Research Projects Agency (ARPA) designed to give
the U.S. a lead in using science and technology
applicable to the military.
 1968 - Larry Roberts wrote the first design plans for
ARPANET
 1969 - ARPANET (the Internet) - was designed in
response to the cold war

21. The Invention of World Wide Web
What drove Tim Berners-Lee to imagine this game-
changing model for information sharing?
 Tim Berners-Lee was a software consultant
at CERN in the 1980s when he began writing
Tangle, an application to help him keep track of
CERN's many scientists, projects and
incompatible computers
 He thought it would be a whole lot simpler if
the computers could swap their information
directly, even though, at that time, computers
didn't communicate with one another.
21

22. The Web
 The Web turned out to be the killer app of all time
 The three main innovations
 HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)
 Allows you to click on a link and be brought to that Web page
 URLs (Universal Resource Locators)
22

23. The Web
 HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
 Gives you the ability to put links in documents and
pages so they connect
23

24. The Birth of Google
 Larry Page noticed that while it was trivial to follow
links from one page to another, it was nontrivial to
discover links back
 He thought it would be useful to know who was linking to
whom
 Academics build their papers on a carefully constructed
foundation of citation
 Each paper reaches a conclusion by citing previously
published papers as proof points that advance the
24 author's argument

25. Project BackRub
 Larry Page and Sergey Brin's attempts to reverse
engineer Berners-Lee's World Wide Web that led to
Google
 The needle that threads these efforts together is
citation brings us back to the original research Page
did on such backlinks, a project he came to call
BackRub
25

26. The Birth of Google
 Page came up with the concept of weighted ranking,
while Brin (left) figured out the math
 PageRank worked by analyzing links, the bigger the
Web, the better the engine
 That fact inspired the founders to name their new
engine Google, after googol, the term for the numeral
1 followed by 100 zeroes
26

27. The Revolution of a Phone
 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone that was
used by virtually every human on earth
 You can use a smart phone to record and view events
 You can also share your clip video to the whole world’s
population via a phone
 You can read emails, play games, and join social network
via a phone
 You can also edit and view the documents on a phone
 You can share comments and recommendations about
whatever you have seen

30. The Birth of iPod
 Tony Fadell had an idea to take an MP3 player,
build a Napster music sale service to
complement it, and build a company around it
 “This is the project that's going to remold Apple
and 10 years from now, it's going to be a music
business, not a computer business," Fadell
30 predicted in early 2001.

31. The Birth of iPhone by Steve Jobs
 We all had cell phones. We just hated them,
they were so awful to use. The software was
terrible. The hardware wasn't very good
 It was a great challenge. Let's make a great
phone that we fall in love with
