Happy Birthday Interwebz: The Modern Internet Turns 30. Happy Birthday to The Interwebz. That’s right, January 1 (which was yesterday for those of us outside the US), marked the 30th birthday of the modern Internet. Writing on the Google blog, Vint Cerf — the company’s VP and Chief Internet Evangelist, and a key figure who helped the Internet get off the ground — recalls the packet network-related work that he and Robert Kahn undertook to develop the initial TCP Internet standard that got things moving.
That was then split into two parts, one of which was “Internet Protocol”, aka IP, and the other TCP. From there, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — which had first tested ARPANET – took Cerf and Kahn’s work into the mainstream on January 1 1983, as he explains. TCP/IP was tested across the three types of networks developed by DARPA and eventually was anointed as their new standard. With hindsight, it’s obvious it was a momentous occasion. The only form of celebration from the programmers saw them sport pin badges.
