Creation of Internet - \nThe USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the U.S. to create the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to regain a U.S. technological lead. DARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution. Licklider recruited Lawrence Roberts to head a project to implement a network, and Roberts based the technology on the work of Paul Baran who had written an exhaustive study for the U.S. Air Force that recommended packet switching to make a network highly robust and survivable. After much work, the first node went live at UCLA on October 29, 1969 on what would be called the ARPANET, the "eve" network of today's Internet. \n\nPeople behind it: Licklider, Lawrence Roberts, Paul Baran for the military\nFirst node went live: Oct 29, 1969, UCLA\nBirth place: UCLA campus\n\nThe first TCP/IP wide area network was operational by January 1, 1983 (this is technically the birth of the Internet), when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet. It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1995. Important separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged into the Internet include Usenet, Bitnet and the various commercial and educational X.25 networks such as Compuserve and JANET. The ability of TCP/IP to work over these pre-existing communication networks allowed for a great ease of growth. Use of Internet as a phrase to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated around this time.\n\nName first given to it: NSFNet\nFirst operational: Jan 1 1983 (birth of internet as we know it)\nNational campuses - birthplace of internet framework\n\nAs of January 2006, over 1 billion people use the Internet according to Internet World Stats

I think there are plenty of people. The net should also not be your only source for human interaction. One wise man told me once to not expect anything from anyone and you will never get disappointed by them. Hope this helps.

i have a phpbb forum and the only thing you can do with it is check who is providing the internet to that service...its a way if that person is posting illegal stuff..like how to make bombs and stuff you can just contact there isp and they'll handle the rest...thats whats its basically for.. but im not sure if they can obtain general location cause thats not possible unless they hack into the ISP. only thing your gonna get is IP address and service provider

I think people think it is ok to lie about people on the net because it is an annonymous form of communication.  When people are not known, they feel free to say anything about anyone, true or false.  People will say things they never would in person.  It is a shame.

Aren't we the nosy one.\n\n\nJust kidding.  Why don't you ask them?  Or just start a political conversation... I'm sure they'll reveal who they are with what they say.\nNo, there isn't a website to find out.

I have met quite a few from online - most are good friends now -- some --- well let's just keep those skeletons in the closet - ACK!

I don't think any emails people send in are really published. I think the creator of the website comes up with the ideas himself. He or his brother.

I have no clue.  There is a mix of people on the net and some feel that since they are behind a computer screen they can be anything that they want. Just like my space.  I'm not saying everyone on the net is a bad person but it is too hard to weed out the good from the bad.  my opinion is take everything everyone says lightly and don't trust anyone. They don't know you and you don't know them so who cares what they think.

I don't see one. But I'll keep my eyes open for good solutions. I believe the WEB has caused gigantic problems in our society. Our youth has suddenly come to the conclusion that having a link to a response somehow 'proves' it's true.

people fall in love with the illusion they are being fed.  Becuse they have no idea who or what is on the other end of the computer lines.  This is the main reason why I don't get deep online with anyone.  It is always in my head that its all an illusion.

Over the internet we have the option of being anonymous.  There are some people who are afraid of life's answers.  I do not intentionally hurt people.  But I do speak my mind, even in person.
