ARPANET, September
1971
ARPANET, October
1980
 |
It started in 1960's as a government funded
communications project called
ARPANET. At the time there were only a few
high powered computers available in the country and it
was the goal of the
ARPANET to make them more accessible to more
researches by networking them together. Because of
it's design and use of
packet switches the
ARPANET turned out to be a very robust communication
system that could continue to operate even if some of
the pieces of the network weren't working. By the
early 1970's a form of email had been developed and the
common language that would allow more computers to
connect to the network had been established.
