A Timeline of the history of the Internet. Hope it will aide you somehow! Enjoy. ESPERANZA, LAARNI KATRYN B. BACHELOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MAJOR IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS

2. 1962
J.C.R. Licklider wrote memos of his
concept ‘Intergalactic Network,’
where everyone around the globe is
interconnected and can access data
from sites anywhere.
The first synchronous
communication satellite, Syncom, is
launched.
Also, Lick contracted with MIT, UCLA,
and BBN to work on his vision of the
Intergalactic Network.
ASCII (American Standard Code for
Information Interchange) was
developed as the first universal
standard for computers.
1963
1964
Larry Roberts along with Thomas
Marill created the first wide-area
network connection.
Paul Baran, Donald Davies, Leonard
Kleinrock and others researched on
secure packet switched networks.
Kleinrock’s thesis was published as a
seminal text on the queuing theory.
1965
1969
ARPANET was put to a test in four
sites, each with a team who would
produce softwares that will enable
its computers and IMP to
communicate.
After installation in September, the
first host-to-host connection from
UCLA to SRI was made.

3. 1970
BBN’s TIP (Terminal Interface
Processor) was developed as a new
platform capable of supporting
input from multiple hosts or
terminals.
The Network Control Protocol (NCP)
was finished as the initial ARPANET
host-to-host protocol led by Steve
Crocker.
1971
The Networking Group makes progress
on FTP or file transfer protocol
standard.
ARPANET contains 19 nodes.
1972
Bob Metcalfe is working on wirebased system modelled on ALOHA
protocols for Local Area Networks
(LAN). (Soon becomes the Ethernet).
This year was for finishing, testing
and releasing network protocols,
and developing demonstrations for
the ICCC.
Ray Tomlinson writes a program to
enable electronic mail to be sent
over the ARPANET.
1973
1977
Cerf and Kahn mount a major
demonstration, ‘internetting’
among the Packet Radio net,
SATNET and ARPANET.

4. 1980
Tim Berners-Lee proposed a
hypertext system, the World Wide
Web that will run across the
Internet on different operating
systems.
NSF becomes an early supporter of
the Internet.
NASA has ARPANET nodes, as do
many Department of Energy sites.
Now several Federal agencies
support the internet, and the
number is growing.
1989
1992
The Internet becomes such part of
the computing establishment that a
professional society forms to guide
its way, the ISOC or the Internet
Society.
The WWW bursts into the world
and the growth of the Internet
explodes like a supernova.
