History of Internet
1957-USSR Launches Sputnik USSR Launches Sputnik into
space and, with it, global communications
1958-Bell Labs Invents Modem Bell Labs researchers invent the
modem, communication between computers.
1961-Leonard Kleinrock Pioneers Packet-switching concept in his
Information Flow in Large Communication Nets.
1962-J.C.R. Licklider Conceives Intergalactic Network. first head of the computer research program at ARPA.
1963-ASCII Is Developed by a joint industrygovernment committe. It permits machines from different
manufacturers to exchange data.
1965-ARPA Sponsors Networking Study ARPA sponsors study on "cooperative network of time-sharing computers."
1965- Lawrence Roberts & Thomas Marill Create First Wide-area Network.
Connection via long distant dial-up between a TX-2 computer in
Massachusetts and a Q-32 computer in California.
1967- ARPAnet Design Begins. Network is managed by interconnected ‘Interface
Message Processors’ in front of the major computers. Called IMPs, they evolve into
today’s routers.
1968- Bolt Beranek and Newman Wins IMP Development Contract. Awarded the ARPA
contract to build the Interface Message Processors.
1969-The physical Interface Message Processor (IMP) network is constructed,
linking four nodes: University of California at Los Angeles, SRI (in Stanford), University
of California at Santa Barbara, and University of Utah.
1972-IMP Network Grows Fifteen nodes (23 hosts) comprise the IMP network.
History of Internet
1973-University College of London Establishes First International ARPAnet
Link by University College of London (England) via NORSAR (Norway).
1974-Elizabeth “Jake” Feinler begins to help lead SRI International’s Network Information Center (NIC), As a part of this effort she and her group develop the top-level domain naming schemes of .com, .edu, .gov, .mil, .org, and .net.
1974-Vint Cerf, Robert Kahn Coin 'Internet'. They publish "A Protocol for
Packet Network Interconnection" which specifies in detail the design of
a Transmission Control Program (TCP).
1974-Lawrence Roberts helps Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) found Telenet, the first public packet data
service.
1977-Lawrence Landweber Creates Computer Science Network. By 1984 , over 180 universities, industrial and
government computer science department are participating in
CSNET.
History of Internet
1982-Kilnam Chon, develops the first Internet connection in Asia, called
SDN, and his pioneering work inspires others to promote the Internet’s
regional growth.
1984- The first email arrives in Germany from the U.S. on August 3, 1984. "Willkommen CSNET," it says.
1988-1989-Van Jacobson develops algorithms for the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) that help solve the problem of congestion and are
still used in over 90% of Internet hosts today.
1989-Geoff Huston leads the effort to bring the Internet from the academic and research sector to the Australian
public.
1990-Linus Torvalds creates Linux and becomes a leading supporter of Open
Source software.
History of Internet
1991-The World Wide Web is made available to the public for the first
time on the Internet.
1992-Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn found the Internet Society. Meanwhile,
hosts on the Internet pass the one million mark.
1996-There is more email than postal mail in the U.S., and Brewster Kahle founds the Internet Archive, a free
digital library with a mission to provide “universal access to all
knowledge.”
1998-The advent of web publishing tools available to non-technical users
spurs the rise of blogs.
2000-Aaron Swartz co-creates RSS, a program that collects news from
various web pages and puts them in one place for readers.
History of Internet
2001-Jimmy Wales launches Wikipedia. There are half a
million Internet users.
2006-Dr. Nancy Hafkin authors Cinderella or Cyberella?:
Empowering Women in the Knowledge Society.
2010-China dominates Internet usage.
2012-The Internet Society founds the Internet Hall of
Fame and the first 33 members are inducted in a ceremony in
Geneva, Switzerland.
