AbstractThere are many things that happened in the history that helped to form the internet. One of the best examples is during the World War II. It is how people using technology to send and communicate with each other. During the World War II, the Germany had invented a machine called “enigma” which is a communication machine that allowed them to send information wirelessly during the war. The German invented the Enigma from modifying a commercial version. First they typed the information and then the information was scramble by the machine in order not to let other country know about their information. In order to fight back to the Germany, the British had built a super computer called “bombe” that was able to encrypt the German’s message. In this example, it is how the people use the technology to get connected and try to build more and more advance computer to improve their communication purpose and by and by, get connected with the world though nets and internets. It is due to today’s internet connectivity and (smart) mobile phone penetration, more than air travel, that the world is now literally a global village. Satellite connectivity helps greatly in distance learning, and in transmission of data as well as information pertaining to early warning of unusual health events in public health.
