With sufficient funds, Google Inc. On September 21, , Google officially removed the beta from its title. In , Google filed for and received a patent for its PageRank technology that listed Larry Page as the inventor. By then, the company had relocated to a larger space in nearby Palo Alto. After the company finally went public, there were concerns that the one-time startup's rapid growth would change the company culture, which was based on the company motto "Do No Evil.
To ensure the company stayed true to its core values, the position of chief culture officer was established. During the period of rapid growth, the company introduced a variety of products, including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Voice, and a web browser called Chrome.
It also acquired streaming video platforms YouTube and Blogger. More recently, there have been forays into different sectors. Some examples are Nexus smartphones , Android mobile operating system , Pixel mobile computer hardware , a smart speaker Google Home , broadband Google Fi , Chromebooks laptops , Stadia gaming , self-driving cars, and numerous other ventures. Advertising revenue generated by search requests remains its biggest earnings driver, however.
In , Google underwent a restructuring of divisions and personnel under the conglomerate name Alphabet. Brin's position at Google was filled with the promotion of Sundar Pichai. Collectively, Alphabet and its subsidiaries consistently rank among the top 10 most valuable and influential companies in the world. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

During the s the amount of web browsers being produced rapidly multiplied and a whole load more web-based technologies started sprouting up. To get a sense of how the world wide web has developed since its creation, check out this video below:.
The world wide web opened up the internet to everyone, not just scientists. It connected the world in a way that made it much easier for people to get information, share, and communicate. It has since allowed people to share their work and thoughts through social networking sites, blogs, video sharing, and more. You are reading in A short history of the internet.
The origins of the internet are rooted in the USA of the s. Both superpowers were in possession of deadly nuclear weapons, and people lived in fear of long-range surprise attacks. The US realised it needed a communications system that could not be affected by a Soviet nuclear attack.
At this time, computers were large, expensive machines exclusively used by military scientists and university staff. These machines were powerful but limited in numbers, and researchers grew increasingly frustrated: they required access to the technology, but had to travel great distances to use it.
The difficulty of using such systems led various scientists, engineers and organisations to research the possibility of a large-scale computer network. No one person invented the internet.
When networking technology was first developed, a number of scientists and engineers brought their research together to create the ARPANET. In Baran proposed a communication network with no central command point.
If one point was destroyed, all surviving points would still be able to communicate with each other.
He called this a distributed network. Chief scientist at ARPA, responsible for developing computer networks. An American scientist who worked towards the creation of a distributed network alongside Lawrence Roberts. A British scientist who, at the same time as Roberts and Kleinrock, was developing similar technology at the National Physical Laboratory in Middlesex.
When asked to explain my role in the creation of the internet, I generally use the example of a city. I helped to build the roads—the infrastructure that gets things from point A to point B. Inventing the World Wide Web involved my growing realisation that there was a power in arranging ideas in an unconstrained, weblike way.
And that awareness came to me through precisely that kind of process. The Web arose as the answer to an open challenge, through the swirling together of influences, ideas, and realisations from many sides. This experimental link used a telephone line with an acoustically coupled modem, and transferred digital data using packets. When the first packet-switching network was developed, Leonard Kleinrock was the first person to use it to send a message.
A second attempt proved successful and more messages were exchanged between the two sites. President Dwight D. Their aim was to help American military technology stay ahead of its enemies and prevent surprises, such as the launch of the satellite Sputnik 1, happening again. Roberts was the first person to connect two computers.
By , 30 academic, military and research institutions had joined the network, connecting locations including Hawaii, Norway and the UK. The term is used to describe a set of protocols that govern how data moves through a network. After the creation of ARPANET, more networks of computers began to join the network, and the need arose for an agreed set of rules for handling data. The address on the datagram can be read by any computer, but only the final host machine can open the envelope and read the message inside.
Kahn and Cerf called this method transmission-control protocol TCP. Every device connected to the internet is given a unique IP number.
