Electronic computers
Begins with the development of electronic computers in the 1950s, concepts of packet networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, Great Britain, and France. -
Messages throught ARPANET
The US Department of Defense awarded contracts as early as the 1960s for packet network systems, including ARPANET which would become the first network to use the Internet Protocol. -

Internet growth
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on culture and commerce, including the rise of near-instant communication by electronic mail, instant messaging...etc -
ARPANET expansion and Internet appearance
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the Computer Science Network (CSNET). In 1982, the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) was introduced as the standard networking protocol on the ARPANET -
Develop of bether networks
Advanced networks such as NSF's very high speed Backbone Network Service (vBNS), Internet2, and National LambdaRail were developed. Increasing amounts of data are transmitted at higher and higher speeds over fiber optic networks. -

Decommission of some networks
The ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990. NSFNET was decommissioned in 1995, removing the last restrictions on the use of the Internet to carry commercial traffic.
