The Internet is one of the most influential technologies that has enhanced the means of communication and networking. It has enabled over 6 billion devices globally to connect and share information in the most efficient way possible. Fundamentally, the web is founded on a TCP/IP protocol suite that outlines how data should be packaged, named, sent, forwarded, and received between end systems and networks. It can be used by many different sorts of networks - from a home network with just a few machines to an enterprise network with many thousands. A few of the innovations that have helped evolve networks and the internet are Fiber Optic Cables which make it possible to transmit vast amounts of data without much loss; Advanced routing protocols such as BGP which determine efficient transmission paths in a large internetwork; Mobile Broadband which enables constant connection for phones and tablets; WiFi wireless networking which makes it easier to connect to the last mile; and TCP/IP improvements such as IPv6 which support the growth of Altogether, these development have paved way for the interconnectivity of the world and the ability to conduct business online in real-time. As the next-generation networks such as 5G, IoT, AI, and quantum networking are on the way, innovations seem to continue enhancing the elements of networked communications including speed, dependability, scopes, and security.
