General document: What is the Internet for? The Internet is the largest network of interconnected computer systems in the world. It allows users to transmit and receive data digitally, over the telephone network system. This concept of transmitting data on a global scale has opened the doors to a vast range of possibilities for this data sharing capability. Initially, the Internet was developed as part of a government-funded project called ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency), in late 1962, led by members of MIT who saw great potential in the ability to transmit data through a global network system, i.e. the telephone system. The intention was mainly to design a system for sharing information on research and development on scientific and military aspects. Additionally, this was to provide an alternative communications network, which could be redirected through a number of alternative routes, in the event that a site was destroyed by a nuclear attack. Since the early stages of development of the Internet, it is still used as a data source today. sharing agent. While in the past it was mainly used by government specialists and large organizations, it is now found in the homes of more than 500 million households worldwide, according to Telecom's estimated statistics from a number surveys carried out in August 2001. This figure accounts for approximately 100% of the world's population. The growing number of Internet service providers (ISPs) has enabled millions of residents in remote countries to access the network, contributing to the 17% growth rate in Internet usage. Today, the volume of data transmitted over the network is hundreds of times greater and transfer speeds have surpassed any other means of transmitting global digital data. For many, the Internet can be described as the “information superhighway”. The millions of users connected to the Internet can stream their data from their computers to the network, providing the user with an almost unlimited range of information areas and educational resources, such as news, sports, inventions , discoveries and research materials. The main problem is that some of them may not be very reliable and specific topics can often be difficult to find. Along with the development of the Internet, the number of usage possibilities has increased significantly. In addition to simple textual information, the foundation of the Internet, a variety of audio and visual components are now available. These include color-rich images, charts, movies and videos, sounds, interactive tools, charts and diagrams, which help enhance the user's research and education experience. A minor drawback is that these types of data tend to be very large and often slow down the
