1. Who developed the Internet?

The first developers of internet were the ARPA of the USA defense department .They created the first network to ever exist , known as ARPANET.
 In 1973, the U.S.  DARPA carried on with the research and improved the technology. The new system allowed for internetting ,and thus, the Internet was created.

2. Why was the Internet developed?

The main objetive was to use it  as a system for communication. ARPA consisted of a non-centralized network . This model was the first  to be able to withstand a nuclear attack so communications wouldn't be lost.

Nowadays the internet has been improving ,making better the communication  and easier the file sharing .

4. Who created the email address format?

 Was created by Ray Tomlinson, a Cambridge computer engineer.  

7. When was the public allowed to use the Wide World Web?

The World Wide Web became available for public use for the first time on 6th August 1992.

8. Who is Tim Berners-Lee? Tell me a little about him. 

Tim Berners-Leewas born in London ,is known as the father of the Internet.He is  the director of the World Wide Web Consortium ( which developed the World Wide Web).He is a physics graduate from the Oxford University  in 1976. He along with Vinton Cerf ( who is considered the other father of the Internet)he created the HTML code .The creation of this resource is attributed to Tim Berners-Lee since he was the primary author of the HTML.His most important  creations were developed  between 1989 and 1991, the URLS and the  HTTP.Combined with the HTML code, these would set the technical standards for a website and the Internet.

 Strange Animals

In  this blog we can see the top 10 of the world's rarest animals:

•    
              THE GHOST TRASRIE          

 Its area of ​​dispersion is limited to Indonesia, specifically endemic to the Celebes Island, the nearby islands Buton, Muna, Kabaena, Selayar and the Togian Islands, and is present up to an altitude of 1,100-1,500 meters above sea level. It is very likely that these populations are subdivided into numerous insular and parapatric species, according to some recent hypotheses. According to several studies, this taxon is found in primary and secondary forests, mangroves and forest gardens, as well as in a variety of other habitats with different degrees of human disturbance, but which provide adequate shrub cover. The tarsio shows extreme adaptations to cling vertically, climb and move by jumping into its proper habitat: the tropical understory, often 2 meters or less above the ground. It is thought that the home range or area of ​​life (home range) of the phantom tarsier is around one hectare or less. [5] [6]hey are primates of nocturnal social habits, they live in small groups of 2 to 6 individuals, of monogamous or polygamous customs. Male adults weigh between 118 to 130 grams, while females vary between 102 to 114 grams. The average head-body length of the adult specimens ranges from 9 to 14 centimeters, while the tail has a length range of 20 to 26 cm. The diet is composed of 100% live animal prey (carnivores ), mainly insects (insectivores) and, occasionally, some small vertebrates, such as rodents and reptiles. [6] The average life in the wild is around 10 years, however, in captivity they have seen specimens that can arrive up to 17 years old. (This information comes from Wikipedia.

         THE PSYCHROLUTES MICROPORES

Is a gelatinous fish of the psychrolutidae family that lives about 1000 meters deep in the waters of New Zelanday and eastern Australia. Very few are the fortunate ones who have been able to observe one of these specimens. Fishermen almost never catch them. As its density is less than that of water, it barely spends energy in swimming swallows anything that floats in front of its mouth.

                                   The Dumbo

Grimpoteuthis is a genus of cephalopod mollusks of the octopod order, sometimes called "Dumbo octopuses" because of their ear-like fins, which project over their "heads" (bodies), resembling the flying ears of Walt Disney's elephant. They are benthic creatures, living in extreme marine depths, in this genre are found the rarest species of octopus. The largest specimens reach 20 cm, little is known about their habits. Most specimens of Grimpoteuthis wuelkeri have been found between 1600 and 2200 m deep. Modern bathyscaps have found species of these octopuses at 5000 m below the surface.

                    
   
                          Furry toad fish

The hairy toadfish is one of the strangest creatures because of its peculiar appearance. This species, which can be found in the warm waters of Indonesia, walks on the sea beds in search of food, hidden among sponges and corals. It resembles a toad in everything: the semicircular shape of its body, its thick mouth and its position in the sand when jumping on its prey. From its yellow body are born numerous branches that resemble hairs. Its size is  very variable.

El Aye-Aye

The aye-ayes are black or dark brown, and are distinguished by their bushy tail, which is longer than their body. They are also characterized by having large eyes, thin fingers and large sensitive ears. The aye-ayes have pointy nails on all the fingers and toes, except for the prehensile toes of the feet, which allow them to hang from the branches.They spend their lives in the trees of the rainforest, and avoid going down to the ground. They are nocturnal and during the day they huddle in ball-shaped nests that they build with leaves and branches. The nests have the appearance of closed spheres with a single entry hole, and are located at the bifurcations of large trees.

 The intipelejo.

It's a kind of anteater. It was previously considered the only species of the genus Cyclopes, native to Central and South America, and the family Cyclopedidae to which it belongs.2 However, a genetic and morphological study published in 2017, determined that this is one of seven species of this genus, native to territories of South America, limited by the Orinoco River basin, the Negro River, the Amazon River, the Xingu River basin, and the Atlantic coastal forests, between the northeast of Brazil, Venezuela, the Guianas and Trinidad and Tobago.
