The internet is a series of innovations that enables communication and transmission of data
between computers at different locations. The term internet was coined for the ARPANET to
describe a collection of different networks that all used TCP/IP.
The whole idea of the internet evolved when the ARPANET was designed in the 1960s for the
US Defense Department, so as to develop new bombproof, distributed packet-switching network
technology. In the autumn of 1969 the first ARPANET computer was connected to the
ARPANET's IMP node at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Doug
Engelbart's hypertext-project computer at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) was the next.
By the end of the year, the network also included the computers at the University of
California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and the University of Utah, i.e. four in all.
Prior to the setting up of the ARPANET network in 1969 which forms the basis for the creation
of the Internet, others including Leonard Kleinrock (MIT) in 1961 published the first paper on
packet switching theory. In the same year, the Helsinki phone company, HPY, tried out IBM
1001 data transfer equipment in Finland. Ted Nelson’s contribution to the internet evolution in
1965 invented the Hypertext which is to describe links to other texts embedded in a text and later
designs a long, worldwide hypertext network called Xanadu. Paul Baran of The Rand
Corporation, funded by the US Air Force, produced a report on distributed Computer networks in
1964 in which his proposal was a packet switched network. Finally, at the close of the 1960s,
precisely in April 1969 saw the release of the first RFC (Request for Comments) document,
which launches a series of technical publications about the Internet.
In the early 1970 the ARPANET grew to connect research institutes and laboratories
supported by the Department of Defense in various parts of the USA which developed the
TCP/IP network and its applications for the Internet. This came into being through the
discovery of the additional packet-switching networks besides ARPAnet, like
ALOHAnet. Links from interactive terminals became common towards the end of the
decade, and packet-switching networks such as Telenet (1974), Scannet (1976) and
Tymnet (1977) were set up, particularly for remote-terminal access to databases.
In 1980s much of the growth resulted from several distinct efforts to create computer
networks linking universities together basically through the efforts of BITnet: providing
e-mail and file transfer, CSNET: linking university researchers, etc.
IP became the official standard of the US Department of Defense, and the original
ARPANET adopted IP on 1.1.1983, when it became a major part of the Internet. At this
time, Defense Department computers were separated from the ARPANET to form their
own MILNET network. In 1986 the NSFNET constructs its own backbone network to
run in parallel to the ARPANET.
