Research Project Agency of U.S. Department of Defence which linked together mainframe computers to
form a communication networks .ARPANET is known as the forefather of internet.
• ARPANET delivered it’s first message on October 29,1969,from one computer located at the University of
California Los Angeles to another at Stanford. Each computer was the size of a small house and the simple
message LOGIN crashed the network . Stanford only received the first two letters , according to History.
Com . Technology advanced into the 1970s with the work of two scientists , Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf
who developed a Communications model standardizing how data was transmitted in multiple networks.
ARPANET adopted this on Jan .1, 1983, and the modern internet was born.
• Computers in the 60’s were large and immobile and in order to make use of information stored in any one
computer or have magnetic computer tapes sent through the conventional postal system. The Soviet
