Internet originated in the U.S. Department of Defense computer network of ARPA network in 1969, stands for the Advanced Research Projects Agency network. Pentagon to build this network is used for military contractors and universities doing military research and exchange of information, and is responsible for promoting the scientific development in 1983 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) took over.
This new NSF network to attract a growing number of institutional users , which many users have their own internal network. For example, the majority of the NSF network University has a campus computer network. Then the NSF network has become a lot of other networks as a backbone connection (interconnect) network system, Internet ( internet) is an appropriate name.
so we can see, the Internet is wired infrastructure network information flow in the above. It began in the military exchange system to develop into a government-funded civilian Research Network.
Today, the Internet is a user-pay system, the various types of institutions connected to become an “information highway.”
