1964 — 1967

Paul Baran, Donald Davies Develop Message Blocks/Packet-switching

The Rand Corporation's Paul Baran develops message blocks in the U.S., while Donald Watts Davies, at the National Physical Laboratory in Britain, simultaneously creates a similar technology called packet-switching. The technology revolutionizes data communications.

Internet History Timeline 1957-2016

USSR Launches Sputnik

1967

USSR launches Sputnik into space and, with it, global communications.

ARPAnet Design Begins

1958

U.S. Government Creates ARPA

Lawrence Roberts leads ARPAnet design discussions and publishes first ARPAnet design paper: "Multiple Computer Networks and Intercomputer Communication." Wesley Clark suggests the network is managed by interconnected ‘Interface Message Processors’ in front of the major computers. Called IMPs, they evolve into today’s routers.

The United States government creates the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in response to Sputnik launch.

1968

UCLA Develops ARPAnet Host Level Protocols

Steve Crocker heads UCLA Network Working Group under Professor Leonard Kleinrock to develop host level protocols for ARPAnet communication in preparation for becoming the first node.

1970 — 1979

Key Internet Protocols Implemented

Bolt Beranek and Newman Wins IMP Development Contract

Dr. David Clark implements Internet protocols for the Multics systems, the Xerox PARC ALTO and the IBM PC

Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc. (BBN) is awarded the ARPA contract to build the Interface Message Processors

1970

Peter Kirstein Starts European ARPAnet

Professor Peter Kirstein of University College London starts the first European ARPAnet node with transatlantic IP connectivity.

Kilnam Chon Connects Asia to Internet

1969

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook

1972

Kilnam Chon, a Professor at Keio University in Japan, develops the first Internet connection in Asia, called SDN, and his pioneering work inspires others to promote the Internet’s regional growth.

On September 26, Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook) spoke during the 70th annual U.N. General Assembly session, to increase awareness and garner support for the initiative, ONE--an organization "taking action to end extreme poverty and preventable disease." Zuckerberg's goal is to bring the Internet to the masses; universal Internet access, he claims, is a basic human right and is an essential tool in the fight to achieve global justice.

UCLA Team Sends First Data Packets

IMP Network Grows

1984

Fifteen nodes (23 hosts) comprise the IMP network.

First Email in Germany

1973

The first data packets are sent between networked computers on October 29th by Charley Kline at UCLA, under supervision of Professor Leonard Kleinrock. The first attempt resulted in the system crashing as the letter G of “Login” was entered. The second attempt was successful.

The first email arrives in Germany from the U.S. on August 3, 1984. "Willkommen CSNET," it says. Werner Zorn plays a critical role in this event and establishing the German Internet.

TCP/IP Protocol Development Begins

Development begins on what will eventually be called TCP/IP protocol by a group headed by Vint Cerf (Stanford) and Robert Kahn (DARPA). The new protocol will allow diverse computer networks to interconnect and communicate with each other.
