In 1969, the first message, “login”, was sent over ARPANET, the predecessor of today’s internet (Kleinrock, 2008). ARPANET was designed as a communication system that would allow researchers to access information from other researcher’s computers around the country, therefore allowing information to flow more freely (Kleinrock, 2008). Computers and the internet have become intertwined into our daily lives.…

First invented in the 1950s by the United State Military during the Cold War, the dynamics of the Internet have gone through a complete transformation. The World Wide Web combined with modern day technology including smart phones, tablet, and laptops, every corner in the globe is open for instant communication. Moreover, combine the ease of use with the…
When I reflect back 30 years ago, I am struck by how much has changed than by what has remained the same. In the last 30 years, the field of telecommunication has significantly improved. Nothing has transformed more in the last 30 years than communication. The advancements in communication have been enabled by the technological advancements. In the 1970s, people used to use telephones, telegraphs, and teletypes to communicate.…

-1962: This Internet Timeline begins in 1962, before the word ‘Internet’ is invented. The world’s 10,000 computers are primitive, although they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have only a few thousand words of magnetic core memory, and programming…
Unlike Technologies like the light bulb or even the telephone, no one singly invented the internet. It has evolved over time. The internet got its start in the United States more than 50 years ago as a government weapon in the Cold War. For years, scientist and researchers used it to talk and share data with one another. Today, we seem to use the internet for almost everything we do like pay bills, shop, and even find love.…
Why study Bell Labs? It offers a number of lessons about how our country’s technology companies — and our country’s longstanding innovative edge — actually came about. Yet Bell Labs also presents a more encompassing and ambitious approach to innovation than what prevails today. Its staff worked on the incremental improvements necessary for a complex national communications network while simultaneously thinking far ahead, toward the most revolutionary inventions imaginable.…
In the 1960’s, the US Government reached out to computer vendors to develop some software and hardware so that its computers could communicate with each other and share information between agencies. In 1969,…
A project started by the U.S. department of Defense (DoD) in 1969 as both an experiment in reliable networking and a means to link DoD and military research contractors including many universities doing military-funded research.…
In the early years of computer and network research and development many systems were designed by a number of companies. Although each system had its rights and were sold across the world, it became apparent as network usage grew, that it was difficult, to enable all of these systems to communicate with each other.…
Back in the early 2000’s the internet was still expanding, looking for new ways to make it more easily accessible for millions of users around the world. It’s main purpose was to allow users to search for information they were most interested in, so they could read and learn about it. Internet was very simple, it had no advertisements, no shopping magazines and no other way of communication but sending an email from one person to another.…
