All this came together in September 1969 when BBN installed the first IMP at UCLA and the first host computer was connected. (And early hypertext – though not WWW)!:ĭue to Kleinrock’s early development of packet switching theory and his focus on analysis, design and measurement, his Network Measurement Center at UCLA was selected to be the first node on the ARPANET. The conclusion from building this was that the circuit switched telephone system wasn’t up to the job, and Kleinrock’s argument for packet switching won the day from then on.ġ966-7:: The plan for ARPANET is conceived and published.ġ969: The first computers talk over the ARPANET. to the Q-32 in California with a low speed dial-up telephone line creating the first (however small) wide-area computer network ever built. In 1965 working with Thomas Merrill, Roberts connected the TX-2 computer in Mass. In spirit, the concept was very much like the Internet of today.ġ961: Leonard Kleinrock publishes the first paper on packet switching theory. He envisioned a globally interconnected set of computers through which everyone could quickly access data and programs from any site. Licklider of MIT in August 1962 discussing his “Galactic Network” concept. The first recorded description of the social interactions that could be enabled through networking was a series of memos written by J.C.R. It’s a great read to hear them tell the story in their own words.īefore there was the internet, there was… the Galactic Network! I guess when inter-networking across galaxies proved a bit ambitious, the ideas were brought back down to earth ). This paper was written to give “a factual rendering of the events and activities associated with the development of the early Internet,” from the key people involved in its design and development.
