The Internet originated in 1969 and was originally a project established by the U.S. Department of Defense A military network called ARPANET. They proposed a system that divided information into data packets for transmission. This system allowed data packets to be transmitted freely across the network, which meant that if a computer on the network broke, the data would still be transmitted. Can reach the destination through another way.
In 1982, the U.S. military withdrew from ARPANET, and the remaining part was called the Internet. At that time, it was mainly used for research purposes by connecting academic institutions, and scientists could use it to Share data, connect to distant computers and send email messages. Hong Kong's academic institutions also established a network called HARNET in the 1980s to promote communication and academic research exchanges between institutions, and began to connect to the Internet in 1991. The Internet is now a global network that allows millions of users to use it. No one or institution owns or fully controls it. It is estimated that there are more than 100 million Internet users around the world. In Hong Kong, the number of Internet users increased from 50 in 1997 to By 2002, the number had exceeded 4 million.
