Where did that come from??
Why did the internet begin and why did it start??
The Internet is not a recent innovation, when in fact the fundamental ideas behind the Internet
have been around for over a quarter century.
        The development of what we now call the Internet started in 1957 when the Soviet
Union launched Sputnik 1, the first satellite, beating the United States into space. The powers
behind the American military at the time became highly alarmed as this meant that the USSR
could in theory launch bombs into space, and then drop them anywhere on earth. In 1958 the
concerns of people in the US military triggered the creation of the Defence Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
        DARPA's original role was to jump start American research in technology, find
safeguards against a space-based missile attack and to reclaim the technological lead from the
USSR. After only 18 months after the creation of DARPA, the Defence Advanced Research
Projects Agency had developed and deployed the first US satellite. DARPA went on to have
a direct involvement to the development of the Internet by employing Joseph Licklider to
head the new Information Processing Techniques Office.
        It was the job of the Information Processing Techniques Office to further the work
formerly done by members of the quot;SAGEquot; (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) program
and expand technologies to protect the US against a space-based nuclear attack.
Licklider envisaged the potential benefits of a countrywide communications network,
influencing his successors to implement his vision and to hire Lawrence Roberts who at that
time was carrying out research with networks which was also being funded by DARPA.
Roberts led development of the ARPANet network architecture, and based it on the new idea
of packet switching. A unique computer called an Interface Message Processor was
developed to realise the design. The ARPANet first went live in October 1969, with
communications between the University of California in Los Angeles and the Stanford
Research organization.
        The first networking protocol used on the ARPANet was the Network Control
Program. In 1983, it was replaced with the TCP/IP protocol, which is still the standard used
today.
        In 1990, the National Science Foundation took over management of what was then
called the NSFNet, and significantly expanded its reach by connecting it to the CSNET in
Universities throughout North America, and later to the EUnet throughout research facilities
in Europe.

What have I discovered in this answer?
In this answer I have learnt many things by just reading it. It has made it clearer to me about how the
internet started and why. It made it easier to understand what happened during the times of the ‘arms
race’ between the Soviet Union and USA and the powers that those two possessed. To recap in dot
point

    •   The internet began in 1969 when 4 computers were connected together called DARPANET.
    •   Then it became ARPANET which then became MILNET.
    •   In 1984 NFSNET was created.
    •   Then more networks were created and they were connected together.
