◆ Vanevar Bush <br> It was American engineer Vanevare Bush who invented " Memex (Memex) " in the 1940s that created the concept of becoming the root of the Internet. "Memex" is an abbreviation of "MEMory EXtender", a system that indexes and links materials and data recorded on microfilm . Mr. Bush himself is not familiar with informatics, and "Memex" was supposed to be used on microfilm-based analog devices, but this idea can also be said to be the forerunner of the system that is the basis of the Internet, such as the Web and HTTP It was a concept.

◆ had proposed the underlying concept of the J · C · R · Licklider <br> earliest network system has published a paper called "Man-Computer Symbiosis (symbiosis of human and computer)" in the 1960's J・ It is Mr. CR Rickrider . This paper has greatly influenced the development of a time sharing system in which a single PC is used by multiple users simultaneously, and it is also written that "the human brain and computing machines are closely coupled in the near future". Are said to have foreseen the emergence of cybernetics and AI.

◆ Vinton Surf and Robert Kahn
The American Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA, later DARPA) in the 1970s used ARPANET, which is the origin of the Internet, but at that time various communication methods were rampant. It was Vinton Surf and Robert Kern who introduced the communication method called TCP / IP there. TCP / IP is a data transfer technology that is the core of the current communication protocol that transmits and receives data as packets via the network, and this technology has triggered the advent of ARPANET, which was only used by ARPA and related organizations. Will grow into a worldwide Internet.

◆ Ray ・ Tomlinson
Ray Tomlinson developed an email address that most people with PCs and smartphones use casually and an email address with "@ (at mark)". The first e-mail sent in 1971 was the word "QWERTYUIOP".

◆ Tim Berners-Lee
Tim Berners-Lee, who worked for the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN) in 1989, is a hypertext that further developed the system called “ENQUIRE”, which CERN researchers were developed to share research data. System " WorldWideWeb " has been developed. The previously mentioned HTTP, " URL " and " HTML " were also produced at this time.

You can experience the world's first browser "WorldWideWeb" by accessing the CERN site from the following articles.

◆ Paul Mocha Petris
In 1983, the United States of Information Science Institute at (Information Sciences Institute) DNS that was developed (Domain Name System) Paul Mockapetris is Mr.. Devices connected to the TCP / IP network communicate using IP addresses, but DNS plays an important role in linking IP addresses, which are only lists of numbers, and domains such as URLs and email addresses.
