Slide 2

The Internet was created in the 1960s as a way for government


researchers to share information. Computers in the '60s were large and
immobile and in order to make use of information stored in any one
computer, one had to either travel to the site of the computer or have
magnetic computer tapes sent through the conventional postal system.
Another catalyst in the formation of the Internet was the heating up of the
Cold War which urged the U.S. Defence Department to consider ways
information could still be transferred even after a nuclear attack. This
eventually led to the formation of the ARPANET (Advanced Research
Projects Agency Network), the network that ultimately evolved into what
we now know as the Internet.
