2. ORIGINS OF INTERNET
• The history of the Internet began with the development of electronic computers in the 1950s. The
history of the Internet began with the development of electronic computers in the 1950s. The
public was first introduced to the concepts that would lead to the Internet when a message was
sent over the ARPANet from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory at
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), after the second piece of network equipment was
installed at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at
NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s
and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of
protocols for internetworking, in which multiple separate networks could be joined together into a
network of networks.
