The Internet is the result of some visionary thinking by people in early 1960, with the greatest possible value to the computer later to exchange information on research and development in scientific and military fields. JCR Licklider of MIT, with the first proposal for a global network of computers in 1962, and moved on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in late 1962, work to develop it on the head. Leonard Little Rock MIT and later UCLA developed the theory of packet switch, which was the basis of Internet connections to form. Lawrence Roberts of MIT connected a Massachusetts computer with a California computer in 1965 over dial-up telephone lines. It has the possibility of wide area network, but also showed that the telephone line circuit switching was inadequate. The theory of packet switching Little Rock confirmed. Roberts was transferred to DARPA in 1966 and developed his plan for ARPANET. These visionaries and many more left unnamed here are the true founders of the Internet..
On the Internet, then known as ARPANET, was brought online in 1969 under a contract let by the renamed Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) which initially four major computers at universities in the southwestern U.S. (UCLA, Stanford Research Institute , UCSB, and University of Utah). The contract was carried out by BBN of Cambridge, MA under Bob Kahn and went online in December 1969. By June 1970,, MIT Harvard, BBN, and Systems Development Corp (SDC) in Santa Monica, Cal. added. By Jan 1971, Stanford, MIT Lincoln Labs was, Carnegie Mellon and Case Western Reserve U added. In coming months, NASA / Ames, Mitre, Burroughs, RAND, and Illinois were closed in. Then there was more to keep listing here..
The Internet was designed in part a communication network that will work even if some of the countries devastated by nuclear attacks too. As the most direct route is not available, routers would direct traffic around the network via alternate routes. Internet originally used by computer experts, engineers, scientists and librarians.
There was nothing friendly about it. There was no home or office personal computers in those days, and someone using it, or a computer or a professional engineer or scientist or librarian, had to learn a very complex system to use ....... . ... E ............ mail was adapted for ARPANET by Ray Tomlinson of BBN in 1972. He picked up the @ symbol of the available characters in his name and address of the telex link. Telnet Protocol, so logging on to a remote computer, was known as a Request for Comments (RFC) in 1972. RFC are a means of sharing the work of community development. FTP protocol so that file transfers between sites, was published as an RFC in 1973, and from then on RFC were available electronically to anyone who uses the FTP protocol. Libraries began automating and networking their catalogs in the late 1960s independent from ARPA. Visionary Frederick G. Kilgour Center Ohio College Library (now OCLC, Inc.) led networking of libraries of Ohio, during the 60's and 70's.
In the mid-1970s more regional consortia of New England, Southwest states and Middle Atlantic states, etc., along with Ohio, a national, later international network to form. Automated catalogs, not very friendly at first, became available in the world, first through telnet or hard IBM variant TN3270 and only many years later through the Internet. See History, Internet OCLC.. frost at 70 because of TCP / IP architecture first proposed by Bob Kahn at BBN and further developed by Kahn and Vint Cerf at Stanford and others in the 70's.
It is through the Defense Department in 1980 replacing the earlier Network Control Protocol (NCP) and the universe
