More and more people nowadays are interested to be known about all
events, in taking some information quickly. With the help of Internet
you can make it easily. Back in the 1960th, at the time of cold war,
Pentagon asked a question: «How can could orders be issued to the armed
forces in the U.S. were ravaged by a nuclear assault?» The communication
ways at that time - the telephone, which connected offices, the radio
and TV stations - were not only vulnerable to attack, they would also
probably the first to go. Pentagon needed military systems that would
continue to work even the phones and radio had broken down. In 1964 Paul
Baran connected 4 computers in different patts of the USA and posted a
message. You couldn't destroy Internet - if some computers will be
broken down, the rest will work well. Nobody owns the Internet, and no
organization controls its use. Now millions of people around the world
are logging into libraries, call up satellite weather photos, download
computer programs and music, take part in discussion groups. Even the
Presidents have their own Internet accounts. In fact, anyone with modem
connected to the phone line can enjoy Internet. The total number of
people in Russia , who get into Internet, due the Putin's statistics, is
10 million. The Internet already delivers
100.000 channels for all interests. In future all technics will be
connected to the Internet. Now we can connect with Internet mobile
phone, photo camera, palm computers and even alarm clock. Now we can be
connected with all the world everywhere - in the bus, underground and
even on the north pole.
