HISTORY OF INTERNET
The internet has it’s history anchored
in the project started by the United States
Government called DARPA (Defense
Advanced Research Project Agency) an
agency of the US Department of Defense
for the development of new technology for
military use which was establish in 1958.

The original name of this agency was simply
ARPA (Advanced Research Project
Agency) then was renamed to DARPA. The
agency was then headed by J.C.R Licklider
in 1962, he installed three computer
network terminals; one for the University of
California, Berkeley for the project
Genie, one for System Development
Corporation in Santa, Monica USA and one
at Massachussetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) for Time System project for advance
computer and networking research.

The networking technology led to the
development of what we call “packet
switching”, a network communication that splits
the data in chunks, called packets , then
resembled in the correct order at its destination.
Robert Taylor as head of the Information
Processing Office in DARPA with Larry Roberts from
MIT initiated the project called ARPANET to build a
networking computer network. The for inter
connected computers were located in University
of California, Los Angeles, Stanford research
Institute, University of Utah and University of
California of Santa Barbara.

ARPANET essentially was the pioneering
technical contributor t what we know today as
the Internet. The computer from different
location basically becomes host, operating as
the serves that provide services and
communication to other network in the
network.
