Abantu abathintekayo baye bafaka isandla ekuthuthukiseni ubuchwepheshe bekhompyutha eminyakeni engamashumi eminyaka. Lesi sihloko sichaza izenzakalo ezivelele kakhulu emlandweni wezokuxhumana zenethiwekhi.

Invention ye-Telephone (kanye ne-Modal Dial-Up)
Ngaphandle kokutholakala kwensizakalo yefoni yezwi eyakhiwe ngawo-1800, amaza okuqala abantu abahambela e-intanethi ngeke akwazi ukuthola i-intanethi kusukela induduzo yamakhaya abo. Ukufaka ikhompyutha yedijithali kumugqa wocingo lwe-analog ukuze ukwazi ukuthumela idatha ngale nethiwekhi kudinga ihadi elikhethekile le-hardware elibizwa ngokuthi i- modem yokuzula .
Lezi modemu zazikhona kusukela ngo-1960, ezokuqala ezisekela isilinganiso esincane kakhulu sedatha yama-bits angu-300 (0.3 kilobits noma 0.0003 megabits) ngomzuzwana (bps) nokuthuthuka kancane kancane eminyakeni edlule. Abasebenzisi bokuqala be-intanethi bavame ukugijima ezingaphezu kuka-9 600 noma izixhumanisi ezingu-14,400 ze-bps. I-modem eyaziwa ngokuthi "56K" (56,000 bps), okusheshayo okungenzeka kunikezwe ukulinganiselwa kwalolu hlobo lokusakaza imithombo, ayizange iqalwe kuze kube ngu-1996.

Ukudalwa kwe-Internet Backbone
Imizamo kaTim Berners-Lee nabanye ukudala iWorld Wide Web (WWW) kusukela ngo-1980 iyayaziwa, kodwa i-WWW yayingeke kwenzeke ngaphandle kwesisekelo esiyisisekelo senethiwekhi ye-Intanethi. Phakathi kwabantu abakhulu abafaka isandla ekusungulweni kwe-intanethi kwakunguRay Tomlinson (umthuthukisi we-system yokuqala ye-imeyli), uRobert Metcalfe noDavid Boggs (abakhiqizi be- Ethernet ), kanye noVinton Cerf noRobert Kahn (abakhi bezobuchwepheshe ngemuva kwe- TCP / IP .

Ukuzalwa kwe-P2P Ifayela Lekwabelana
Umfundi oneminyaka engu-19 ubudala ogama lakhe linguShawn Fanning waphuma ekolishi ngo-1999 ukwakha isofthiwe ebizwa nge- Napster . Ngomhla ka-1 kuNhlangulana ka-1999, insizakalo yokuqala yaseNapster eyabelana ngefayili yakhishwa kwi-intanethi. Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa, iNapster yaba enye yezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-software ezithandwa kakhulu kuzo zonke izikhathi. Abantu emhlabeni wonke bangena eNapster njalo ukuze bashintshe ngokuzenzakalelayo amafayela omculo kufomethi ye-digital digital.
UNapster wayengumholi ohambweni lokuqala lwezinhlelo zokubelana ngefayela (peer to to peer) (P2P) , okwenza i-P2P ibe inhlangano yomhlaba wonke eyenza izigidigidi zokulandwa kwefayela nezenzo zomthetho ezibiza izigidi. Isevisi yasekuqaleni ivaliwe ngemuva kweminyaka embalwa, kodwa kamuva izizukulwane zezinhlelo eziphambili ze-P2P njenge- BitTorrent ziyaqhubeka ukusebenza ku-intanethi nakuzicelo kumanethiwekhi angasese.

I-Cisco iba Yinkampani Yomuntu Oyedwa Owusizo Kakhulu Womhlaba
Sekuyisikhathi eside i- Cisco Systems ibhekwa njengomkhiqizi ohamba phambili wemikhiqizo yokuxhumana, eyaziwa kakhulu ngama-routers awo aphezulu. Ngisho nangemva kuka-1998, uCisco waziqhenya ngemali eyizigidigidi zama dollar futhi wasebenzisa abantu abangaphezu kuka-10 000.
Ngomhla ka-27 Mashi 2000, iCisco yaba yinkampani ebaluleke kunazo zonke emhlabeni esekelwe ukulinganisa imakethe yayo. Ukubusa phezulu akuzange kuhlale isikhathi eside, kodwa ngaleso sikhathi esifushane ngesikhathi se-dot-com boom, i-Cisco imelela izinga lokukhuphula kanye nesithakazelo ukuthi amabhizinisi wonke emkhakheni wezingcingo zekhompyutha azijabulele ngaleso sikhathi.

Ukuthuthukiswa kwe-First Home Network Routers
Umqondo we-computer network routers ubuyela emuva ngawo-1970 nangaphambili, kodwa ukwandiswa kwemikhiqizo yenethiwekhi ye-router yomthengi kwaqala ngonyaka ka-2000 ngezinkampani ezifana ne-Linksys (kamuva ezitholwa yiCisco Systems kodwa inkampani ozimele ngaleso sikhathi) ukukhulula owokuqala amamodeli. Lawa ma-routers asekhaya asetshenzisiwe asetshenziselwa i-Ethernet eyinkimbinkimbi njenge-interface enkulu yenethiwekhi. Kodwa-ke, ngisho nasekuqaleni kuka-2001, ama routers wokuqala angama- 802.11b angenawo ama-SMC7004AWBR avele emakethe, eqala ukwandiswa kobuchwepheshe be -Wi-Fi kumanethiwekhi emhlabeni jikelele.
