The Internet was the result of some visionary thinking by people in the early 1960s who saw great potential value in allowing computers to share information on research and development in scientific and military fields. J.C.R. When the late Senator Ted Kennedy heard in 1968 that the pioneering Massachusetts company BBN had won the ARPA contract for an "interface message processor (IMP)," he sent a congratulatory telegram to BBN for their ecumenical spirit in winning the "interfaith message processor" contract.

Frequently asked questions by the Press - Tim BL. Note: Many of these questions are now answered in much more depth in my book, Weaving the Web I feel that after a while if I answer the same questions again, I will start answering rather mechanically, and will forget important steps, and after a while it won't make sense.
So I have put a few answers from my outgoing mail in this list to save everyone time. But this list is (c) TBL so don't quote directly in the press without permission.

Internet History Resource Centre. A Short History of Internet Protocols at CERN. Now that the Internet has exploded in popularity on a world wide scale, with a major component of its success (the World Wide Web) being developed at CERN, it seems a good time to look back and trace the history of the Internet at CERN.
Even before the Web allowed Internet penetration in the most unexpected places, the presence of the Internet protocols at CERN had already encouraged their adoption not only in many other parts of Europe but also in such influential organizations as the ITU and ISO in Geneva. Another reason for writing this history today is that it is almost exactly ten years ago that CERN named me as its first "TCP/IP Coordinator". The TCP/IP protocols (as Internet protocols were then called) had actually entered CERN a few years earlier, inside a Berkeley Unix system, but not too many people were aware of that event.

Ubiquity - A Concise Guide to the Major Internet Bodies. Imagining the Internet. UKNOF Internet History Project. It is clear that the Internet has changed society fundamentally, perhaps as much as any of the Telephone, Television, Aviation and the Automobile.
It is also clear that the key changes which caused the Internet to emerge into widespread use happened during the 1990s. On this basis it seems that records of these events may be of interest to future historical researchers. Paul Baran: Publications on Distributed Communications. In 1962, a nuclear confrontation seemed imminent.
The United States (US) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were embroiled in the Cuban missile crisis. Both the US and the USSR were in the process of building hair-trigger nuclear ballistic missile systems. Each country pondered post-nuclear attack scenarios. US authorities considered ways to communicate in the aftermath of a nuclear attack. How could any sort of "command and control network" survive?
At the time, naysayers dismissed Baran's idea as unfeasible. Baran was born in Poland in 1926. At that time, RAND focused mostly on Cold War-related military issues. Baran envisioned a network of unmanned nodes that would act as switches, routing information from one node to another to their final destinations. Baran also developed the concept of dividing information into "message blocks" before sending them out across the network. This method of "packet switching" is a rapid store-and-forward design.

Enough can not be said about this incredible technology. However, the internet is not one single invention; it is a simple idea that has evolved throughout the decades into something bigger than us all. International E-mail accessibility - INTERNETOLOGY. Welcome to Internetology, the history of the Internet's worldwide spread in recent years.
The information presented in these maps was taken from three years of FAQs on International E-mail accessibility. This set of pages looks back at the worldwide spread of Internet since November 1993.
