The first concepts of a globally interconnected network of computers were developed by J.C.R. Licklider in the 1960s, who envisioned a network through which users could access data and programs from any site. Research in the 1960s by Kleinrock and others demonstrated the theoretical feasibility of packet switching, laying the foundations for computer networking. The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s based on these ideas, with the first message sent between computers in 1969. The ARPANET was then used to demonstrate networking concepts publicly for the first time in 1972.
The internet originated in the late 1950s and early 1960s from the development of the ARPANET by the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency. It grew rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s due to the development of TCP/IP and client-server model of network access. By the mid-1990s, the internet connected millions of users worldwide and its growth continued exponentially through the late 1990s and early 2000s with the expansion of commercial internet access and the World Wide Web.
The document outlines the history and development of the Internet from 1957 to 1996. Some key events include the launch of Sputnik in 1957, the development of ARPANET in the late 1960s led by DARPA, the creation of TCP/IP in 1973 allowing different networks to connect, the commercialization of the Internet in the mid-1990s including the introduction of web browsers, and the handover of management from the US government to commercial institutions. The Internet grew out of research and military networks and became a globally connected, commercial system by the mid-1990s.
The document traces the history of the Internet from its origins in 1969 with the earliest computer networks through key developments like the creation of TCP/IP in 1974 and the public introduction of the World Wide Web in 1991. Major growth points are noted in the late 1980s with 30,000 networks connected and the rise of IRC in 1989, and in the mid-1990s as graphical web browsers popularized access to the Internet for personal use. Recent decades saw further expansion through new technologies, platforms, and the rise of social media.
Activity 10 timeline history of internetAnnabel Ayson

The timeline documents the key developments in the history of the Internet from 1965 to 2011, including:
- The birth of the Internet in 1969 with the connection of four major universities through ARPANET.
- The development of TCP/IP and email in the 1970s which allowed for expanded connectivity.
- The introduction of browsers in the 1990s which popularized accessing the web.
- The rise of major websites and platforms in the late 1990s and 2000s like Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter which transformed how people use the Internet.
The history of the internet began in 1836 with the invention of the telegraph, which revolutionized human communication through the use of Morse code. In the late 1950s and 1960s, packet switching networks were developed to allow for more robust data transfer and routing. The internet was officially born in 1969 through the creation of ARPANET by the U.S. Department of Defense. Through the 1970s and 1980s, networking expanded globally through the development of protocols like TCP/IP and services like email, allowing for widespread connectivity and information sharing. Commercialization in the late 1980s and 1990s led to massive growth in users and websites.
The document outlines the timeline of major developments in the history of the Internet from 1968-2000, including the creation of ARPANET connecting 4 computers in 1968, the development of key protocols like TCP/IP and technologies like Ethernet, the creation of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners Lee in 1990, and growth to over 300 million users worldwide connected from 185 countries by 2000.
The United States Defense Department created ARPAnet in 1960 as the basis for the Internet to link computers and enable communication. In the 1980s, desktop computers became popular and were connected to ARPAnet through local area networks, increasing interest. The National Science Foundation developed the NSFnet backbone in the mid-1980s to connect countries faster. Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web in 1991, further popularizing the Internet for public use through browsers like Mosaic. Wireless technology was created for handheld use by 1997.
Increasing reach and access through WikimediaCILIP

Lucy Crompton-Reid discussed increasing reach and access through Wikimedia. She is the Chief Executive of Wikimedia UK, the national chapter for the global Wikimedia movement. She highlighted several libraries' page views on Wikimedia sites, ranging from 60 million for Bodleian to 387 million for Wellcome Library. She described Wikimedia residency programs at the National Library of Wales and Bodleian Libraries, focusing on opening diverse content, events, and advocacy.
In 1962, J.C.R. Licklider envisioned a globally interconnected network of computers called the "Galactic Network". This vision led to the development of ARPAnet in the late 1960s which allowed users to develop applications across sites as the Network Control Program was implemented. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, ARPAnet expanded and evolved, connecting local area networks and speeding up connections. By the early 1990s, the World Wide Web was released and popular browsers like Mosaic and Netscape emerged, bringing the internet into homes and businesses, leading the U.S. government to end its management role of the internet in 1995.

Webinar: LF Energy GEISA: Addressing edge interoperability at the meterDanBrown980551
?
This webinar will introduce the Grid Edge Security and Interoperability Alliance, or GEISA, an effort within LF Energy to address application interoperability at the very edge of the utility network: meters and other distribution automation devices. Over the last decade platform manufacturers have introduced the ability to run applications on electricity meters and other edge devices. Unfortunately, while many of these efforts have been built on Linux, they haven¡¯t been interoperable. APIs and execution environment have varied from one manufacturer to the next making it impossible for utilities to obtain applications that they can run across a fleet of different devices. For utilities that want to minimize their supply chain risk by obtaining equipment from multiple suppliers, they are forced to run and maintain multiple separate management systems. Applications available for one device may need to be ported to run on another, or they may not be available at all.
GEISA addresses this by creating a vendor neutral specification for utility edge computing environments. This webinar will discuss why GEISA is important to utilities, the specific issues GEISA will solve and the new opportunities it creates for utilities, platform vendors, and application vendors.

Developer Experience is Dead! Long Live Developer Experience!
In this keynote-style session, we¡¯ll take a detailed, granular look at the barriers to productivity developers face today and modern approaches for removing them. 10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ¡®The Coding War Games.¡¯
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method, we invent to deliver products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches works? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today so we don¡¯t have the same discussion again in a decade?
