A Brief History of the Internet

By default, any ultimate history of the Internet must be short, since the Internet in one form or another has only been in certainty for less than 30 years. The first iteration of the Internet was launched in 1971 with a group of people showing in early on 1972. This new network, familiar as ARPANET. It means Advanced Research Projects Agency Network was very antique by today's standards, but a purpose in computer interactions. ARPANET was based upon the design concepts of Larry Roberts (MIT) and was fleshed out at the first ACM tutorial, held in Gaithersburg, TN in 1966, even though RFPs weren't sent out until mid 1968.

The responsibility of safety in 1969 commissioned ARPANET, and the first node was created at the University of California in Los Angeles, management on a Honeywell DDP-516 mini-computer. The second node was familiar at Standford University and launched on October first of the same year. The third node was placed at the University of California, Santa Barbara November 1, 1969 and the fourth was open at the University of Utah in December.
