In its early years, the Internet was a military project that became a science project with funding from the National Science Foundation. In one or two paragraphs, describe its transition to an environment that allowed and supported commercial activity

In the early 1960s, the U.S. Department of Defense began examining ways to connect computers to each other and to weapons installations distributed all over the world. Employing many of the best communications technology researchers, the Defense Department funded research at leading universities and institutes. The goal of this research was to design a worldwide network that could remain operational, even if parts of the network were destroyed by enemy military action or sabotage. In 1969, Defense Department researchers in the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) used this direct connection network model to connect four computers—one each at the University of California at Los Angeles, SRI International, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of Utah—into a network called the ARPANET. The ARPANET was the earliest of the networks that eventually combined to become what we now call the Internet.

E-mail was born in 1972 when Ray Tomlinson, a researcher who used the network, wrote a program that could send and receive messages over the network. This new method of communicating became widely used very quickly. As personal computers became more powerful, affordable, and available during the 1980s, companies increasingly used them to construct their own internal networks. Although these networks included e-mail software that employees could use to send messages to each other, businesses wanted their employees to be able to communicate with people outside their corporate networks.
In 1989, the NSF permitted two commercial e-mail services (MCI Mail and
CompuServe) to establish limited connections to the Internet for the sole purpose of exchanging e-mail transmissions with users of the Internet. These connections allowed commercial enterprises to send e-mail directly to Internet addresses, and allowed members of the research and education communities on the Internet to send e-mail directly to MCI Mail and CompuServe addresses.

In one or two paragraphs, describe the advantages and disadvantages of IMAP when compared to POP

The Interactive Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) performs the same basic functions as POP, but includes additional features. For example, IMAP can instruct the e-mail server to send only selected e-mail messages to the client instead of all messages. IMAP also allows the user to view only the header and the e-mail sender’s name before deciding to download the entire message, which avoids the POP requirement that users download e-mail messages to their computers before they can search, read, forward, delete, or reply to those messages.
IMAP lets users create and manipulate e-mail folders (also called mailboxes) and individual e-mail messages while the messages are still on the e-mail server; that is, the user does not need to download e-mail before working with it.

IMAP lets users manipulate and store their e-mail on the e-mail server and access it from any computer, which is important to people who access their email from different computers at different times. The main drawback to IMAP is that e-mail messages are stored on the server and, over time, can exceed the user’s space allowance on the server. In general, server computers use faster (and thus, more expensive) disk drives than desktop computers. Therefore, it is more expensive to provide disk storage space for large quantities of e-mail on a server computer than to provide that same disk space on users’ desktop computers.

List and briefly describe the four major SDLC phases

The four phases are systems planning and selection, systems analysis, systems design, and systems implementation and operation. Systems planning and selection is the first phase of the SDLC, in which an organization's total information system needs are analyzed and arranged, and in which a potential information systems project is identified and an argument for continuing or not continuing with the project is presented. During systems analysis, the current system is studied and alternative replacement systems are proposed. During systems design, analysts convert the description of the proposed system into logical and then physical system specifications. During systems implementation and operation, the information system is coded, tested, and installed in the organization. During this phase the system is systematically repaired and improved.
