The A.R.P.A. Network, (or
ARPA-Net), also sometimes referred to as the Inter-connected Computer
Network (or Inter-Net) , is a computer network developed by the
Advanced Research Projects Agency of America (or ARPA) that
allows computers to communicate with each other on a far more complex
level than a telephone.
-------------How the Inter-Net
works-------------
The biggest form of
communication in our modern day is through the telephone, however
connecting a computer to a phone line is not as easy as you may think.
Computers and telephones speak in different languages. Telephones speak
in tones, whereas computers speak in a binary system of ones and
noughts. To connect these two, you need a sort of translator known as a
Modulator-Demodulator Machine (or a Mo-Dem). The modulator part
converts binary into tones, and the demodulator converts the tones into
binary. The Mo-Dem makes an odd noise when connecting to the Inter-Net.
Do not worry, this is normal and perfectly fine, just plug your ears.
The Mo-Dem can send your
computer's messages and send it through the telephone lines and send
the messages to any other computer you would like.
See our guide on connecting
your telephone to your computer. Once you're done, go to Telehack.com to connect to the Inter-Net.
-------------The Inter-Net
technology of "E-Mail"-------------
One of the biggest Inter-Net
technologies is Electronic Mail (or
E-Mail). E-Mail functions similarly to regular mail, where you send a
digital message to an individual, and it will arrive at their digital
inbox on their computer much faster than regular mail. Telephones do
not have an inbox like E-Mail does. E-Mail may lay the foundations for
greater things, perhaps Inter-Net E-Hotlines. There is no telling what
wonders the Inter-Net could bring.
The MULLER Project utilizes
E-Mail to send people like you updates on issues, products, and more.
