this is the history of the invention of the Internet and its first message
WORBND.COM - In this day and age, the internet has become a technology that is familiar with everyday life.
All aspects of life and necessities almost always require the internet as a supporting technology.
Especially in the current pandemic era, many activities and activities are carried out online or online, so that the internet cannot be separated from our lives.
But, do you know what the early history of the internet was like?
The history of the invention of the internet
Interconnected Network (Internet) or "connected network" was created on September 2, 1969.
At that time, scientists at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) managed to make two computers exchange data over a network for the first time.
A month later, the scientists managed to send the first message over the internet from UCLA to the Stanford Research Institute hundreds of miles away.
The first message is the word "LOGIN".
However, the system experienced a failure after sending two letters.
Thus, the first message actually sent over the internet was "LO", sent on October 29, 1969.
Looking forward to the information network
Long before there was any technology that could build the internet, scientists were looking forward to a worldwide information network.
A prominent American inventor, Nikola Tesla, came up with the idea of a "world wireless system" in the early 1990s.
Meanwhile, in the 1930s and 1940s, visionary thinkers such as Paul Otlet and Vannevar Bush had envisioned mechanical, traceable storage systems for books and media.
The first practical schemes for new networks appeared in the early 1960s when J.C.R. MIT's Licklider popularized the idea of a computer "intergalactic network."
ARPANET
Licklider became head of the computer research program at DARPA in October 1962.
He convinced his DARPA friend and MIT researcher, Lawrence G. Robert, of the importance of the network concept.
MIT's Kleinrock then convinced Robert, one of the researchers at DARPA, about the theoretical possibilities of communication using packets rather than circuits.
In late 1966, Robert came to DARPA to develop the computer networking concept for the ARPANET project.
ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency Network) was originally funded by the US Department of Defense.
By August 1968, Robert and the DARPA-funded community had completed the entire structure and specifications for the ARPANET.
The Network Measurement Center at UCLA was then chosen to be the first ARPANET node.
A year later, on September 2, Kleinrock and his team managed to make two computers exchange data over the network for the first time.
The first message and appearance of the WWW
On October 29, 1969, the ARPANET sent its first message: a node-to-node communication from one computer to another.
The first computer is in the research lab at UCLA and the second is at Stanford.
The message is the word "LOGIN".
However, the system failed and the computer at Stanford only accepted the first two letters, "LO".
