In 1994, the federal government proposed creating a second Internet that would surpass the one already in existence, primarily for the purpose of research. Out of it came the Next Generation Internet (NGI), a government lead project to advance and foster the creation of a better Internet. Internet2 was started in 1996, primarily by a collaboration of 34 universities throughout the US working together as the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID). Internet2 creators are doing the same thing that the people did when they created the original Internet, only going further down the road. But this time we have examples of what capabilities and effects Internet2 will bring about, and more will come about as time goes on. The possibilities it opens up in research, education, music, business, and every other form of information exchange and collaboration are incredible, but they are also fast becoming a reality. Eventually, the time will come when people use the example of Internet2 to justify even greater advances in Internet technology.
