What is internet of things and how it works

What is the Internet?

When we talk about the internet, we instantly think of the word connection ; and it would be difficult to find a more suitable feature to relate to the internet.

The origin of the word comes from the English term Interconnected Networks, which in Spanish means interconnected networks. In its most faithful meaning, we can describe it as a large network of computers that are connected worldwide.

But do you know the history of the Internet? Being connected is a reality that is possible today thanks to JCR Licklider in 1962; wireless lan adapter who conceived it as a "Galactic Network" that would connect a group of computers to share data regardless of physical location.

It took 3 years to achieve the successful connection of two computers between California and Massachusetts through a telephone line. And after a few more years, the ARPANET military project was created, which aimed to connect more and more connection networks.

While the internet (or network connection) was growing, the infrastructure must also grow to support and guarantee its operation. For this reason it was necessary to create the Domain Name System (DNS).

Already by the 90s the internet became massive; It went from being an exclusive research tool and came to homes to change our customs. Do you remember when you had to use the telephone line to connect to the internet?

From that moment the world quickly began a technological revolution; in which connectivity and access to information have marked the history of mankind forever. Smart devices, new ways of socializing and learning, nanotechnology, 3D printers, artificial intelligence and many other advances that will continue to mark future generations.
