A. Who invented the internet?

 

internet mean network of networks Look like the following Figure For one Country

 

 

To invent the internet by another mean connect networks at a lot of countries to each others , there must be Organized Recognized Communication Between them [ like2 persons from different country speaking different languages , they must have interpreter between them or translator ] , look to the following Figure you will see different networks started at the same time at different countries

 

 

America was the leader to make Organization Between its Networks , By making DoD model Look to the following Figure

 

Then This Model spread and Became The real connection Between All The Previous networks or Between Countries Networks [ I mean the language all networks Speak with each others through Cables or other communication media like wireless or microwaves towers  ..etc ]

 

B. What was the other proposed name for internet?

 

I think internetworking , and don't say WWW world wide web because that's wrong

 

C. What is the first ever website created?

 

http://info.cern.ch/

Hi Sir..

 From Whatever little I know about internet, I am trying to answer you questions...Plz bear with me..

The Internet was invented in the United States during the late1950s to the1970s by a group of researchers and scientists at the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). On the October29,1969, computers at Stanford and UCLA connected for the first time using the network then called ARPANET.

the first website ever made was.  Simply put, it was a website made by the World Wide Web’s creator Tim Berners-Lee, who was working for CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research).

The first ever website was published on August6,1991 and served up a page explaining the World Wide Web project and giving information on how users could setup a web server and how to create their own websites and web pages, as well as how they could search the web for information.  The URL for the first ever web page put up on the first ever website was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

This link is no longer active and, unfortunately, nobody bothered to make a copy of this original page, which tended to be updated daily anyways.

The first ever web browser, called WorldWideWeb, was also created by Tim Berners-Lee.  This browser had a nice graphical user interface; allowed for multiple fonts and font sizes; allowed for downloading and displaying images, sounds, animations, movies, etc.; and had the ability to let users edit the web pages being viewed in order to promote collaboration of information.  However, this browser only ran on NeXT Step’s OS, which most people didn’t have because of the high cost of these systems (this company was owned by Steve Jobs, so you can imagine the cost bloat ;-)).

In order to provide a browser anyone could use, the next browser he developed was much simpler and, thus, versions of it could be quickly developed to be able to run on just about any computer, pretty much regardless of processing power or operating system.  It was a bare-bones inline browser (command line / text only), which didn’t have most of the features of his original browser, but at least could be used on pretty much any computer out there at the time and allowed people to access the information on the web.

The first web server was also written by Tim Berners-Lee called CERN HTTPd, the latter part standing for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon”.   For those not familiar, a daemon is simply a program that more or less runs in the background on a system doing whatever it is programmed to do; in this case, listening for and responding to requests for web pages that exist on the machine it is running on; thus this daemon would be called a “server”.

A.Dec 18, 2013 - ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on January 1, 1983, and from there researchers began to assemble the “network of networks” that became the modern Internet. The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990, when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web.

B. It was originally called “Mesh”; the term “World Wide Web” was coined while Berners-Lee was writing the code in 1990.

C.

The first web page went live on August 6, 1991. It was dedicated to information on the World Wide Web project and was made by Tim Berners-Lee. It ran on a NeXT computer at the European Organization for Nuclear ResearchCERN. The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

Answer to B)

ARPANET - Basically we can look at it as "intranet". Such small pockets of connected networks existing. "World Wide Web" was then conceptualized connecting all this smaller networks.
