Introduction  The evolution of the earth is supposed to took place in 4.6 billion year ago.

The Stone Age is further subdivided by the types of    stone tools  in use.             after many dramatic changes in earth's structure and environment, it becomes supportive for life. From their first appearance to around 3000 BC humans used only stone tools for different purposes. this period is , therefore, known as the stone age, which has been divided into paleolithic (early or old stone ) age, Mesolithic(middle stone) age, and Neolithic (new stone) age.

Internet

HISTORY OF INTERNET The internet has gained immense popularity and emerged as an important and efficient means of communication. The idea of introducing the Internet was to allow people to share information using their computers across the world. In 1962, J.C.R Licklider first proposed the development of a global network of computers. The same year, he moved to Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA) to develop the network. Another scientist, Leonard Kleinrock, developed the theory of packet switching, which was used as a basis for the Internet connections. In 1969, the sicentist at DARPA succeeded in networking two computers, Known as ARPANET( Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), which was based on packet switching. ARPANET was developed as a means of communication for the United States military services. ARPANET was a big success. This invited the attention on the National Science Foundation (NSF), as US federal agency for creation a contemporary better high capac...
