 history of internet
Credit for the initial concept developed into
the world wide web is typically given to
Leonard Kleinrock. In 1961, he wrote about
ARPANET, the predecessor of the Internet, in
a paper entitled “Information Flow in Large
Communication Nets.” Kleinrock, along with
other innovators such as J.C.R Licklider, the
first director of the information Processing
Technology office(IPTO), provided the
backbone for the ubiquitous stream of emails,
media, Facebook postings and tweets that are
now shared online every day. Here, then, is a
brief history of the internet.
