"It is estimated that in 1993 the Internet carried only 1% of the information flowing through two-way telecommunication, by 2000 this figure had grown to 51%, and by 2007 more than 97% of all telecommunicated information was carried over the Internet." - Where exactly in the linked source is this taken from? I cannot find this anywhere in the text :-( -- toblu [?!] 16:34, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
1. Communication
Communication At the moment the easiest thing that can be done using the internet is that we can communicate with the people living far away from us with extreme ease. Earlier the communication used to be a daunting task but all that chanced once internet came into the life of the common people. Now people can not only chat but can also do the video conferencing. It has become extremely easy to contact the loved ones who are in some other part of the world. Communication is the most important gift that the internet has given to the common man. Email, social networking sites are some of the prime example of it. This is one such gift of the internet which is cherished by everyone and has made our life easier to much extent.
2. Research
Research Now the point that has been placed next is research. In order to do research you need to go through hundreds of books as well as the references and that was one of the most difficult jobs to do earlier. Since the internet came into life, everything is available just a click away. You just have to search for the concerned topic and you will get hundreds of references that may be beneficial for your research. And since internet is here to make your research public, you can then benefit a large amount of people from the research work that you have done. Research is one such thing which has got lots of benefit from this evolution of internet. Research process has now got wings and has gained the most due to the internet.
3. Education
Education The next point that we have in this list is education. Yes you read it right. Education is one of the best things that the internet can provide. There are a number of books, reference books, online help centres, expert’s views and other study oriented material on the internet that can make the learning process very easier as well as a fun learning experience. There are lots and lots of websites which are related to different topic. You can visit them and can gain endless amount of knowledge that you wish to have. With the use of internet for education, you are non-longer dependent on some other person to come and teach you. There are various number of tutorials available over the internet using which you can learn so many thing very easily. There can’t be any excellent use of the internet other than education as it is the key to achieve everything in life.
4. Financial Transaction
Financial Transaction The next use mentioned here is financial transaction. Financial transaction is the term which is used when there is exchange of money. With the use of internet in the financial transaction, your work has become a lot easier. Now you don’t need to stand in the queue at the branch of your particular bank rather you can just log in on to the bank website with the credential that has been provided to you by the bank and then can do any transaction related to finance at your will. With the ability to do the financial transaction easily over the internet you can purchase or sell items so easily. Financial transaction can be considered as one of the best uses of resource in the right direction.
5. Real Time Updates
Real Time Updates Real time updates have been placed at the number fifth position here. This has been mentioned here in regards to the news and other happenings that may be on-going in different parts of the world but with the use of internet we come to know about it very easily and without any difficulty. There are various websites on the internet which provides you with the real time updates in every field be it in business, sports, finance, politics, entertainment and others. Many a time the decisions are taken on the real time updates that are happening in various parts of the world and this is where internet is very essential and helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.206.119.99 ( talk) 14:16, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

quote: "Historically the word internet was used, uncapitalized, as early as 1883 as a verb and adjective to refer to interconnected motions.[citation needed]"
Is this a typo meaning 1983? Or an off-topic but intentional point about weird history. I could find no reference or citation, so should it be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.88.143.148 ( talk) 06:43, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
As the original poster of this information, I should comment. The 3rd edition of the OED has an entry for "internetted" with citations dating back now to 1849 ("1849 W. F. Lynch Narr. U.S. Exped. River Jordan & Dead Sea xxii. 450 Her hair..was internetted with minute spiculæ of gold."); this form is mentioned in the article on "internet" as an adjective ("Interconnected; interwoven. Now rare."), but not as a noun. The 2nd ed, which I cited in my original edit, gave as earliest citation "1883 A. S. Herschel in Nature 15 Mar. 458/2 The marvellous maze of internetted motions." So an intentional point about weird history, not a typo or vandalism. While Wikipedia has no requirement for a source to be available online, the OED is (on subscription). I'm not sure if this works in general, but when I've clicked on a properly formatted reference to the OED in Wikipedia (template {{
OED}}) without being logged in to OED I've been taken to the appropriate page [Added later: this didn't work after a reboot, login required, so not valid]. HTH

Thanks guys. I think it reads much better now, and it is more obvious that it is a point about weird history. It's probably a little off-topic, but I think interesting enough to be mentioned. There is really no connection between the 19th century meanings and today's, but hey maybe thats in itself point enough. Nice. -- same anonymous coward that opened this topic just in case it wasn't vandalism. P.S. how do you close out/delete a discussion?

The Drawbacks section in its entirety is a POV piece, and therefore is inappropriate. It assumes that economic inequality, due to any condition or conditions, is inherently morally wrong. Wikipedia is not a place for moralizing. It also declaims against the fact that some businesses are more efficient, and hence better at utilizing scarce resources, and therefore better at maximizing the subjective values of the population. By using less resources, this also means those resources now no longer being consumed can be redirected to other uses, potentially creating more wealth and jobs than beforehand. Wikipedia is not the place to exhibit ignorance of basic economics in order to make a value judgement. It also seems to be essentially arguing for Ludditism. And Wikipedia is not a place to state that it is morally better to have twenty men digging a trench, vs one machine, freeing up the men for other, higher methods of production. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.162.33.89 ( talk) 19:14, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

WARNING TO ALL! “That will end (it) for me – fine – I’ve had a hell of a run,” said Drudge. “To have a Supreme Court Justice say to me it’s over, they’ve got the votes, which means time is limited.”
Potentially relevant or interesting, at least to future discussion here, though I'm certainly not proposing or intending to make any changes to the article itself at this time: Slate: The AP Stylebook Will No Longer Capitalize Internet. What a Shame.
There are quite a few good points in the reader comments. I find myself disagreeing with Slate, based partly on the strength (poor) of their case for Internet remaining a capitalized noun. You don't call someone on the Telephone, do you? Arguments for how the worldwide data network is in some way different, more special, or deserving of proper noun status just don't seem very compelling. Perhaps we're approaching the time where society stops pretending there's such a thing as "The Internet", when it's really just the internet. -- FeRD_NYC ( talk) 09:16, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
I saw that Slate article, too, and popped in to make peace with this. I'm satisfied with how the news about AP Stylebook was handled at Capitalization of "Internet". I used to argue with people, but after the AP caved I lost heart. Today I am taking their side. I also see that the UK was leading this direction. Language changes. I disagree with the telephone comparison. The internet and the telephone don't compare well in this way. The word "telephone" didn't start its life as a proper noun.

'The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States government in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks' needs to be changed to: The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States government and the government of the United Kingdom in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks. I have the required citations from the NPL, The Guardian and The InterNet Hall of Fame which categorically show that both the US and the UK were independently working on, 'robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks' and that while British pioneers helped develop Arpanet the same was not true at NPL. Also, don't forget that the first digital local network in the world to use packet switching and high-speed links was at the NPL campus. I'll wait a week for any objections before updating the article. regards. Twobells t@lk 20:25, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
"The Internet has been a major outlet for leisure activity since its inception, with entertaining social experiments such as MUDs and MOOs being conducted on university servers, and humor-related Usenet groups receiving much traffic. Today, many Internet forums have sections devoted to games and funny videos. Over 6 million people use blogs or message boards as a means of communication and for the sharing of ideas." I would like to see at least one citation for each of those three sentences. Has the internet truly been a major outlet[...]? Can we see at least one or two examples of the alleged "entertaining social experiments"? How much is "much traffic"? How many is "many Internet forums"? What are "funny videos"?

Vintage S-1000 Portable AM Radio - 'Internet' Brand Transistor Radio
1970 Transistor Radio. First verifiable commercial use of the term 'Internet' I can date with photos of my 9th birthday. (Born 1961) I had the first 'internet'. I coveted this radio in a shop in 1970 but I remember it for sale at least six months earlier, because I had to save up for it. Internet sold several other radios under the 'Internet' brand. Date 1970 certainly, 1969 very possibly.

The Internet was originally designed to be a rugged intercommunication protocole in case of excessive radiation (microwave, other).
It should be obvious that the amount of excess Microsoft and Bank beautifying protocoles have made it so that that ruggedness is no longer there and so gone, that it is no longer possible to maintain nor have effective communication on any line that might have excess static.
IE: It is not possible to contact your service provider effectively, the amount of Mister Ille propaganda and fast clitch prone beautifying html having made that impossible on any line with some static.
It is not possible to contact your ban effectively, the amount of Executive Ille propaganda and fast clitch prone beautifying bank html having made that impossible on any line with some static.
Used to be that it was said that it takes the beaurocracy to really muck up a good thing. I suppose that in this day and age, that implies that those executives that banks have, including those positions that a service provider would have, would all have gone to those whom needed a landing position from a beaurocratic position, for not much more then having accepted the bribe to move 'people' into choosing individuals whom allowed that direction to be taken.

One of the precursors to the modern Internet is PLATO (computer system), which started in 1960. PLATO should really be worth a mention, as this computer system pioneered the many use-case concepts, such as e-mail and chat. In many respects, PLATO preceded ARPANET (later The Internet) in terms of deployment, and FidoNet (1984) preceded The Internet in availability. - Mardus / talk 17:42, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

I am actually astonished at such wording, the essential dismissal of TBL’s work that has been described as just ‘a collection of web documents and services’ is factually wrong and worse, has been allowed to remain central to the article and any attempt to rectify that misleading description prevented by the protected nature of the article. No mention of the fact that the web is the device by which most internet services connect and the method by which most people interact with the internet, it is almost as though an attempt has been made to reduce the impact of the Web in favour of the Internet. DNA Cowboy ( talk) 08:54, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
The article states that the internet’s origins lay with the United States but any student of history knows this is not true, that in fact there were three on-going attempts to create networks, those were (chronologically listed) NPL, Cyclades and Arpanet, so my question is why does the article promote a false history?

Please remove {{Too long|date=March 2018}}
at line 2 as the article is not that long, compared to other high-profile pages. It has already been appropriately split into sub-articles, so this template is not of much use. Besides, less than 1 percent of our readers edit, so why bother them with templates they don't understand and clog up the article? This would be a bit of a
WP:BOLD edit, but still, I think it would make the article better. Thank you.

Firemen, Police, ... "Provided by the government". If the Internet is not a public service that category should be deleted.
The internet is a transport scheme; it neither adds, deletes nor modifies items transmitted. Hence it has some impact on media and those categories should be deleted. 67.160.196.6 ( talk) 16:23, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

According to the other wikipedia page on scale-free networks, a network is said to be scale-free if its degree distribution obeys a power law asymptotically, that is, for a large number of nodes. The cited source by Barabasi et al does not itself give empirical verification that the hypertext link network is in fact scale-free, but actually cites other sources to get the power law exponent. I did not check the citations given in Barabasi et al to see if they did this empirical verification. My concern comes from a paper by Amaral LAN, Scala A, Barthelemy M, Stanley HE (2000). "Classes of small-world networks". PNAS. 97 (21): 11149–52. where they studied several networks and found that in practice though a network may have degree distribution obeys a power law for a moderate number of nodes, the power law becomes truncated into exponential decay when the number of nodes is large, thus no being scale-free, at least according to the asymptotic definition given on the other wikipedia page. Barabasi et al themselves write that "even for those networks for which [their degree dstribution] has an exponential tail, the degree distribution significantly deviates from a Poisson distribution" (p. 71), which worries me since the definition of scale-free in wikipedia of obeying a power law is asymptotic for a large number of nodes.
So the point is that, could a more direct reference to a line number or page number or a reference cited from Barabasi that shows that the degree distribution of both the Internet IP routing structure and hypertext links network of the World Wide Web in fact obey a power-law for large number of nodes?

I went to the webapge [www.gsma.com] on GSMA but could not find the said statistics. For instance, at [1] p. 8, it is written that the number of unique mobile subscribers in the whole world in 2016 is 4.8 billion, which is 4.8 billion/7.455 billion = 64% of the then world population. So it appears very unlikely that "as of 2016, almost 60% of the world population had access to a 4G. . . network", as written in the wikipedia article.
Could you please provide the direct statistics from the GSMA website? DesolateReality ( talk) 06:19, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Shouldn't Moore's law be mentioned and linked from the article? I noticed it suddenly vanished. While the amount of information on transistors in an article about the Internet may vary over time, I'm not sure 0% is the correct number. Was the Internet was made without any transistors and was it made possible due to the drastic fall in their cost, because that seems to be the implication?

In the "History" section, after: Early international collaborations for the ARPANET were rare. Connections were made in 1973 to the Norwegian Seismic Array (NORSAR) via a satellite station in Tanum, Sweden, and to Peter Kirstein's research group at University College London which provided a gateway to British academic networks.[23][24] add: In addition at least one connection to a commercial computer services bureau (SIA Ltd, who operated a CDC 6600 supercomputer in London, England) was made so that the company could market its services overseas.
