15 Facts you (probably) didn't know about the birth of the internet

-
The Internet has greatly become an axiom in our daily lives, but that wasn’t the case some 25 years ago when we lived without the Internet. It would be interesting to glimpse a quick look at the birth of the whole-nine-yards of World Wide Web, which all invented by a British Knight!
1.Sir Tim Berners-Lee (AKA TimBL) made the first successful client/server communication using HTTP around mid-November 1989 while working on a proposal for an information management system.
2.The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, best known as HTTP, was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989.
3.Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first ever website (still available here: http://bit.ly/the1stpage).
4.The first web browser and editor (named WorldWideWeb, and later Nexus), was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in during the second half of 1990 and was used to view the first website.
5.info.cern.ch was the address of the world’s first-ever website and web server, running on a NeXT computer at CERN.
6.The first website was hosted on Tim’s computer, which was a NeXT computer (pictured below).
7.NeXT computer was the company founded by Steve Jobs after he left Apple in 1985.
8.While inventing and working on setting up the Web, Berners-Lee spent most of his working hours in Building 31 at CERN.
9.In January 1991 the first Web servers outside CERN itself were switched on.
10.On August 6, 1991, the first website of CERN (link above) was put online but was only available for new users as of August 23, 1991
11.The website was taken down in 1993 by CERN for the content being irrelevant.
12.The first website was lost, but Paul Jones of UNC-Chapel Hill in North Carolina revealed in May 2013 that he has a copy of a page sent to him in 1991 by Berners-Lee.
13.Jones stored the plain-text page, with hyperlinks, on a floppy disk and on his NeXT Computer
14.CERN put the oldest known web page back online in 2014, complete with hyperlinks that helped users get started and helped them navigate what was then a very small web.
15.The first popular graphical web browser was ViolaWWW, created by Pei-Yuan Wei from Taiwan, a University of California graduate. It was first released around April 1992, was the first web browser with inline graphics, scripting, tables, stylesheet.

Virtual Reality  ( VR ) means experiencing objects or things through our computers that actually don't really exist. Virtual Reality is already becoming a very in demand concept, and with so many new cameras and devices, it can be easy to feel left behind. That's because VR is still relatively new technology. VR can also be defined as a believable, interactive 3D computer-created world for you to explore and to get the feel that you are really there, both physically and mentally. Virtual Reality is essentially: Believable You have to believe that you are already there, in the VR world Interactive When you move, the VR world must go with you Computer-generated Only powerful machines are fast enough to make interactive, alternative and believable worlds Explorable A VR world have to be big enough and detailed for you to explore Immersive To be both interactive and believable, VR needs to engage both your mind and your body. How does it work?

Pros and cons of using a VPN

-
​ ( This Question Is Asked By Many Peoples Also) The benefit of using a secure VPN is it ensures the appropriate level of security to the connected systems when the underlying network infrastructure alone cannot provide it. The justification for using VPN access instead of a private network usually boils down to cost and feasibility: It is either not feasible to have a private network — e.g., for a traveling sales rep — or it is too costly to do so. VPN performance can be affected by a variety of factors, among them the speed of users’ internet connections, the types of protocols an internet service provider may use and the type of encryption the VPN uses. Performance can also be affected by poor quality of service and conditions that are outside the control of IT.    VPN protocols  There are several different protocols used to secure and encrypt users and corporate data: IP security (IPsec) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) Point-To-Point
