The origin of the internent
Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider was the first person that made a memo saying stuff like "Galactic Network" -
Switching theory
Leonard Kleinrock at MIT published the first paper on packet switching theory in July 1961 and the first book on the subject in 1964 -
First ever wide area computer
To explore this,Thomas Merrill, Roberts connected the TX-2 computer in Mass. to the Q-32 in California with a low speed dial-up telephone line creating the first wide-area computer network made -
D.A.R.P.A
In late 1966 Roberts went to D.A.R.P.A to develop the computer network concept and quickly put together his plan for the A.R.P.A.N.E.T -
A.R.P.A.N.E.T
In August 1968, after Roberts and the DARPA funded community had refined the overall structure and specifications for the ARPANET, an RFQ was released by DARPA for the development of one of the key components, the packet switches called Interface Message Processors. -
The intellect of mankind
All this came together in September 1969 when BBN installed the first IMP at UCLA and the first host computer was connected. Doug Engelbart's project on "Augmentation of Human Intellect"
at Stanford Research Institute provided a second node. -
Maintaining network
There are working on the network and the applications -
Computers connected
By the end of 1969, four host computers were connected together into the initial ARPANET, and the budding Internet was off the ground. -
Developing applications
s the ARPANET sites completed implementing NCP during the period 1971, the network users finally could begin to develop applications. -
Very large group
In October 1972, Kahn organized a large, very successful demonstration of the ARPANET at the International Computer Communication Conference
