During the Cold War the US needed a system that would not get damaged in the event of a nuclear attack in order to send and receive intelligence. The computers were linked in a network and not in a straight line to achieve the connection. So although it may seem like a new idea the net has actually been around for over 40 years begun at first as a university experiment in military communications.
At first each computer was physically linked by cable to the next computer, but this approach has obvious limitations, which led to the development of networks utilizing the telephone system. So people then decided that nuclear attack or not the computer network was a benefit to all and that they could use it to communicate with each other. Some university students started using the network to do their homework together. More people started to demand access although initially the users were only from the university and government sectors. But more and more people could see the potential of computer networks, and various community groups developed networks separate from the official networks for the use of their local communities.
The Internet today is the collection of all the various users and various local, regional and national networks and it is an ever expanding network of people, computers and information coming together in ways the Pentagon never dreamed of 40 years ago. So what began as an exercise in military paranoia has become a method of global communication.
"Cyberspace" is a term created by William Gibson in his fantasy novel Neuromancer to describe the "world" of computers, and the society that gathers around them. Gibson's fantasy of a world of connected computers has moved into a present reality in the form of the Internet. In cyberspace people are met electronically, without a face or body.

The conceptual foundation for creation of the Internet was largely created by three individuals and a research conference, each of which changed the way we thought about technology by accurately predicting its future:
Vannevar Bush wrote the first visionary description of the potential uses for information technology with his description of the "memex" automated library system.
Norbert Wiener invented the field of Cybernetics, inspiring future researchers to focus on the use of technology to extend human capabilities.
The 1956 Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence conference crystallized the concept that technology was improving at an exponential rate, and provided the first serious consideration of the consequences.
Marshall McLuhan made the idea of a global village interconnected by an electronic nervous system part of our popular culture.
Thanks in part to the NSF's (National Foundation Science Network) enlightened management, and fueled by the popularity of the web, the use of the Internet exploded after 1990, causing the US Government to transfer management to independent organizations starting in 1995.

Reality love, is where you met your partner in reality world, which we always said as "true love". In reality love, your partner is real , he/she will live together with you, means you two dating, watch movie , hanging out and etc (any action/activities in a relationships). It also mean, the couples can meet with their partner more frequently and they are more intimate relationships. And, you can always see your partner's face, the most important is you can touch him/her. Then you will bring he/she out to lunch , to meet friends . This kind of relationships always linked from stage of being friends first , after that become closer and closer , in the end the feelings of love is confessed out. Then, only comes out with words girlfriend or boyfriend. It's so real, and there are many process being gone through before formed out the relationship. And this is what we called "reality love". These processes can be lots of communication, chatting, hanging out together, sms, phone calling and etc.

Identity experimentation also complicates the Internet dating arena. Not all identity experimentation is intentional. Some Internet users involved in online romances describe their relationship in these terms: "I’m a different person when I’m with him [online]" or "I’m happy and confident when we are talking online. I’m not like that any other time." These feelings might be incorrectly attributed to the relationship’s success, when the reality is that behavior has been altered through subconscious self-exploration. Once these relationships move off line, they often wane, since the magic (and the altering of identity) cannot be maintained without the online illusion.
Turkle describes two phases of Internet relationships.
In a first phase, [Internet] players feel the excitement of a rapidly deepening relationship and the sense that time itself is speeding up.
In a second phase, players commonly try to take things from the virtual to the real and are usually disappointed (Turkle, 1995, 206).

Oxford University study suggests that almost one third of us use the Internet to visit online dating services or various online chats and discussion forums. International survey, which was attended by 24 000 men and women who have Internet access, showed that while in 1997 only 6 percent of Internet users attended "dating" site or sites where they could find a partner in 2009 was to 30 percent. In addition, 15 percent of them obtained the current partner this way.
Oxford Internet Institute, made a research through an online questionnaire, with 12,000 pairs from 18 countries, all of whom had regular access to the Internet. They completed a series of questions about whether attending "dating“ website or other similar online services helped them meet future partner. Questions covered the period from 1997 to 2009.
Women and men in middle age (40-69 years) who wanted to start new relationships after 1996 were most likely to just use the internet and dating websites. 36 percent of them even through the Internet found their current partner. The study refutes the myth that social networking and online dating is primarily for young people. Among people aged 18-40 years began a relationship via the Internet only 23 percent.
Study co-author Dr. Bernie Hogan, a researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute, according to ScienceDaily website, said: "Finding a partner through the internet was once considered a bit of a novelty, but this survey suggests that it has become common, though not the dominant way of knowing new partners, especially people in the age group 40-70 years. The popularity of other forms of relationship declined. However, despite the recent surge in online familiarization, most respondents stated that they met with their partner through traditional channels - through friends of friends or through meetings in clubs and bars.”
Men and women perceive the Internet as a new location for the meeting - another option for connecting with other individual.
This popularity is largely due to the fact that, as it seems very comfortable to stay in the pseudo-anonymity. What you do not reveal about yourself the other guy doesn’t know.
The study revealed that attitudes towards online dating are playing the role in the national differences. Users in Northern European countries like to rely on "one-to-one" dating websites.
Most social online people are Brazilians. In contrast, in Japan the users in terms of dating through the Internet, are rather reluctant.
According to another survey Spanish women are among the most flirtatious women in the online world. According to the results average Spanish woman initiated 1.33 acquaintance with men which is almost twice the UK result(0.78 per month) and France (0.69 per month). The countries where Spanish, Italian and Portuguese is spoken seized eight out of top ten places.

Computer crime is known by lots of different names, including cybercrime, e-crime, or electronic crime. All of these are crimes where computers or networks are used or attacked. These electronic crimes are being used to steal identities and huge sums of money. Many traditional crimes such as theft, blackmail, forgery, embezzlement and fraud today are all conducted on the internet.
SLIDE NO 11:
The Department of Justice categorizes computer crime in three ways:
The computer as a target - attacking the computers of others (spreading viruses is an example).
The computer as a weapon - using a computer to commit "traditional crime" that we see in the physical world (such as fraud or illegal gambling).
The computer as an accessory - using a computer as a "fancy filing cabinet" to store illegal or stolen information.
Reports of alleged computer crime have been a hot news item of late. Especially alarming is the realization that many of the masterminds behind these criminal acts are mere kids. In fact, children no longer need to be highly skilled in order to execute cyber crimes. "Hacker tools" are easily available on the Net and, once downloaded, can be used by even novice computer users.
SLIDE NO 12:
Spam
Spam, or the unsolicited sending out of junk e-mails for commercial purposes, which is unlawful. New anti-spam laws are being passed in various countries which will hopefully limit the use of unsolicited electronic communications.
Fraud
Computer fraud refers to the fallacious misrepresentation of fact conveyed with an intention of inducing another to do or refrain from doing something that will ultimately lead to some major kind of loss.
Obscene or Offensive Content
The contents of some of the websites and other electronic communications over the net can be really distasteful, obscene or offensive for a variety of reasons. In many countries such communications are considered illegal. It can be very troubling if your children are exposed to adult content.
Harassment
This cyber crime encompasses all the obscenities and derogatory comments directed towards a specific individual or individuals focusing for example on gender, race, religion, nationality, and sexual orientation. Harassment is the cybercrime most commonly encountered in chat rooms or through newsgroups.
Drug Trafficking
Drug traffickers use the Internet as a medium for trading their illegal substances by sending out enciphered e-mail and other Internet Technology. Most of the drug traffickers can be found arranging their illegal deals at internet cafes, using courier websites for the delivery of illegal packages containing drugs, and sharing formulas for amphetamines in restricted-access chat rooms.
Cyber Terrorism
Due to the increase in cyber terrorism, the hacking into official websites or the crashing of official websites, government officials and Information Technology security specialists have recently begun a significant increase their mapping of potential security holes in critical systems in order to better protect information sensitive sites.
