    Default Age and Origin of Internet

    Any guesses how old is Internet? J.C.R. Licklider from the Massachusetts of Technology was the first to propose in 1962 computers with global network. He passed on the proposal to it on to t further to (DARPA) Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop his proposal. The basis of Internet connections – the theory of packet switching was first developed by Leonard Kleinrock. Stephen Croker and Vinron Cerf, on 2nd September’1969 was the day when the these two graduates from the University of California Los Angeles by using cable of 15 foot to link two computers. After linking two large computers with the thick cable they tested this new way of exchanging data. January’70 three more nodes got added to this network. ARPANET, packet switching network, was the earliest idea which made possible general communication between various computer users.

    ru asking us or telling us?

    technically, the internet had started with the ARPANET project for researchers and scientists to share data between themselves.

    it was only later on once more nodes got added to existing networks that companies like Netscape started developing web browser software.

    interesting topic for discussion, though. in fact, one of my high school (IB) papers was based on the evolution of internet technology! forget most of its content now though
