First record description of social interactions were written by J.C.R. Licklider in 1962 about his concept. Was the supposed first head of the computer research program for DARPA. This research program included Ivan Sutherland, Bob Taylor, and Lawrence G. Roberts. -
Virtual Communication
One major step in the networking process was in 1964 when Leonard Kleinrock wrote the first book on the subject convincing Roberts of virtual communication -
Military Secrets
Without upcoming researchers knowing, there was a secure networks that were being used for the military. The work that the military was doing was so secretive, none of the professional researchers knew about their network. -
First Dial-up connection
Another major step was in 1965 when Roberts and Thomas Merrill created a speed dial-up telephone line, which was virtually the first network. -
Creating a bigger connection
1966 came around and Roberts wasn’t finished, he wanted to create a bigger connection. He then went to DARPA to develop a plan for his ideas which were later produced in 1967. -
The Network Was Designed!!!
After many funds from Roberts and DARPA, the network was designed by Roberts and Howard Frank. -

New programs!

Get connected
By 1981, more than 200 computers were being used in many institutions -
Computer Scientist Programs
In 1981, CSNET (Computer Science Network was made for university scientists. This program was designed for those who did not have access to ARPAnet. The program also provided e-mail accounts for the scientists. -
Increase of technology emerges
Starting out at 80,000 users in january, then increases to 160,000 by November. -
