	The '''Internet''' (note the capital 'I'; just as there are many 'white houses', but only one 'White House', there are many 'internets', but only one 'Internet' - and like the example, 'internet' and 'Internet' have ''different meanings'', so changing the capitalization ''changes the meaning'') is an ~~[[internetwork\|~~internet]] (the short form of the term [[internetwork]]) which is the world's dominant information network.		The '''Internet''' (note the capital 'I'; just as there are many 'white houses', but only one 'White House', there are many 'internets', but only one 'Internet' - and like the above example, 'internet' and 'Internet' have ''different meanings'', so changing the capitalization ''changes the meaning'') is an internet (the short form of the term [[internetwork]]) which is the world's dominant information [[data network\|network]].

	It uses the [[TCP/IP]] [[protocol suite]] for communication.		It uses the [[TCP/IP]] [[protocol suite]] for communication.

	It is to some degree a direct descendant of the ground-breaking [[ARPANET]], but only in the ~~sense~~ that its early dominant [[application protocol]]s ([[TELNET]], [[FTP]], and [[email]]) were direct clones of those of the ARPANET; that the technical community which created it was an overlap/descendant of the one which produced the ARPANET; and that the document series which ~~describes~~ the [[protocol]]s (the [[Request for Comments]] series) is a continuous whole. (See the TCP/IP article for more on TCP/IP's antecedents.)		What later became today's Internet was started (in the late 1970's) as an experiment in having computers communicate across an internet of multiple disparate [[physical network]]s; [[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency\|DARPA]] back then didn't really fund operational systems, just research that would produce things likely to be of interest to the military. A big step was in January, 1986, when the DoD mandated that the [[ARPANET]] (at that point, the dominant [[wide area network]] among US academic institutions) convert from the [[Network Control Protocol\|NCP]] protocol suite to TCP/IP. After several years of that (in 1990 or so), as [[local area network\|LANs]] started to appear in organizations of all types (educational, research, business, etc), people decided it would be good to hook them all together so they could interact using the network; this led to the next stage of the nascent Internet. After that, [[social media]] companies got started, and that led to basically everyone starting to use it.

			It is to some degree a direct descendant of the ground-breaking ARPANET, but only in the senses that i) its early dominant [[application protocol]]s ([[TELNET]], [[FTP]], and [[email]]) were direct clones of those of the ARPANET; ii) that the technical community which created it was an overlap/descendant of the one which produced the ARPANET; and iii) that the document series which specifies the [[protocol]]s (the [[Request for Comments]] series) is a continuous whole. (See the TCP/IP article for more on TCP/IP's technical antecedents.)
