The document outlines the history and development of the internet from 1876 to 1991, including important milestones such as:
- Alexander Graham Bell inventing the telephone in 1876, providing the backbone for modern internet connections.
- The development of time-sharing networks in 1957 which allowed multiple users to interact concurrently with a single computer and promoted interactive computing.
- The establishment of DARPA in 1958 and ARPANET in 1966, which developed communication protocols like TCP/IP that formed the basis for early internet networks.
