PROJECT: RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET The Internet has had a profound effect on how we conduct business and our personal lives. Understanding a bit about its history is an important step to understanding how it changed the lives of people everywhere.

Using the Internet, books, and interviews with subject matter experts (with permission from your teacher), research one of the technological changes that enabled the Internet to exist as it does today. This may be something like TCP/IP, the World Wide Web, or how e-mail works. Look at what led to the change (research, social or business issues, etc.) and how that technology has advanced since it was invented.
Write a research paper of at least 2, 000 words discussing this technology. Make sure to address the technology’s development, history, and how it impacts the Internet and users today. Write in narrative prose, and include a small number of bullet points if it will help illustrate a concept. It is not necessary to use footnotes or endnotes, but make sure to cite all your sources at the end of the paper. Use at least five different sources.

Submission Requirements
Use standard English and write full phrases or sentences. Do not use texting abbreviations or other shortcuts.
Make any tables, charts, or screen shots neat and well organized.
Make the information easy to understand.
