OriginThe precursor of today’s Internet was the ARPAnet, a network developed during the 1960s by the military and four research universities--UCLA, Stanford, the University of California at Santa Barbara, and the University of Utah. The ARPAnet (Advanced Research Projects Administration Network) was intended to make communication possible in case of nuclear attack during the cold war. The first email was sent in November of 1969 and the ARPAnet was later disbanded as the Internet grew and individual networks were connected to each other through a special language called TCP/IP. |
