Before we had home broadband or even fibre optic broadband. The origins of the internet can be traced back to what is called Apranet in 1969. This was a military funding project that was designed to link computers together.

When the military completed their project, Arpanet was moved a set of five universities. Stanford, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, BBN and University of Utah all were connected. By 1984, 1,000 hosts were connected to this new technology and the internet was formed. At this time it was only labs and universities that were connected to it, the change to home access wouldn't occur until the 90s.

In modern times, the face of the internet has changed. While dial ups using TCP/IP was once very common. The internet has changed to include ether link, cable access and even fibre optic broadband. This of course led to the home broadband that has become a popular choice along side of wireless in present times. In fact, from the 1,000 limited computers running the internet in the 80s, we find that today that more than 6 billion people have access to the internet.

What is interesting is that in the 1990's, the internet started off by being a U.S. dominated environment. A majoring of the communication occurred in the United States and it wasn't until later years that Europe and Asia started to switch the amount of access to the internet over the years.

By the late 1990s, another phenomenon occurred. This was the .com revolution. With it, companies were able to sell their products and services over the internet as they purchased space on the internet. Over the years, new extensions have been added to the possible internet urls such as .org, .edu and even .gov. Each of these potential extensions also helps browsers understand what type of website they are going to in this process as well. This has become important since some adult websites have been linked to urls that are associated with government agencies, charitable organizations and such because the .com was take before the original entity could claim it.

As the internet continues to evolve, we are going to find that there will be continued changes to it as well. While fibre optic internet is still one of the best ways to get on the internet, the changing market could see new ways of deliver home broadband to those who are interested in having high speed internet access in their homes.

With the future comes an endless number of possibilities and because of that, you will want to be certain that you keep abreast with all the different connectivity options that come with the internet. There are going to be a number of different options out there and each of them will have their own unique benefit associated with them in this process. This will range from your basic fibre optic internet to the other high speed internet options that you will find available on the market.
