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.
-
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
-
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.
-
Another major step was in 1965 when Roberts and Thomas Merrill created a speed dial-up telephone line, which was virtually the first network.
-
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.
-
After many funds from Roberts and DARPA, the network was designed by Roberts and Howard Frank.
-
First computer was connected to a network.
-
One month after the first connected computer, new connections were made in UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah
-
The network was now available to the public to begin using it.
-
Kahn organized a successful organization called ARPANET at the ICCC (The international Computer communication Conference) that was open to the public for the first time. Later on, electric mail was introduced.
-
By 1975, there were 63 sites
-
By 1981, more than 200 computers were being used in many institutions
-
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.
-
Starting out at 80,000 users in january, then increases to 160,000 by November.
-
In 1991, a new computer program from Switzerland was made by Tim-Berners Lee. This program was a world-wide web that is virtually the internet we use today!
-
In 1995, this was a time when new programs such as JAVA, JAVAscript, Virtual Environments and other related products that were being made available to new consumers.
-
By 2002, over 200 million networks.
-
Facebopk was founded on February 4th, 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, and Chris Hughes.
