    J.C.R Licklider of MIT
    He had a "Galactic Network" concept. He envisioned a globally interconnected set of computers through which everyone could quickly access data and programs from any site.

  • DARPA

    Licklider was the head of DARPA and he convinced his successors at DARPA, Ivan Sutherland, Bob Taylor, and MIT researcher Lawrence G. Roberts, of the importance of this networking concept.

  • First Computer Network

    First Computer Network
    Thomas Merril and 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 are computer network

  • Packet Switching

    Packet Switching
    An MIT scientist developed a way of sending information from one computer to another which he called packet switching. This will break down data into blocks or packets before sending it to its destination.

  • ARPANET

    ARPANET
    Roberts went to DARPA to develop the computer network concept and quickly put together his plan for the ARPANET publishing it in 1967

  • LOGIN

    LOGIN
    ARPAnet delivered its first message: a “node-to-node” communication from one computer to another. The message "LOGIN” was short and simple, but it crashed the fledgling ARPA network anyway.The Stanford computer only received the note’s first two letters.

  • Protocals

    Protocals
    As packet switched computer networks multiplied, it became more difficult for them to integrate into a single worldwide “Internet.” a computer scientist named Vinton Cerf had begun to solve this problem by developing a way for all of the computers on all of the world’s mini-networks to communicate with one another. He called his invention “Transmission Control Protocol,” or TCP. He then added the Internet Protocal or IP

    THE WORLD WIDE WEB part 1
    A computer programmer from switzerland named Tim Beners Lee created the first world wide web. Which wasn't just a way for files to be sent from one computer to another but for a web of information that anyone on the internet could recieve

  • THE WORLD WIDE WEB part 2

    THE WORLD WIDE WEB part 2
    A group of University students made an created an important step in the history of the internet by making the first brower. They called it Mosaic but it was then changed to Netscape. Then in the same year congress decided that the web should be used for commercial purposes. So companies rushed to make there own websites and from that more and more creative websites were made like Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and the list goes on and on
