Oooh.. one of my favorite topics.
ARPANET was the beginning of the internet. It was designed as a way for military installations to stay in touch with a de-centralized architecture. In other words, if part of the big "loop" got blown up, the rest of it would still work.
With the launch of communications satellites, however, that became a far more cost-effective way of communicating across the nation without relying on wires and so forth, so they abandoned ARPANET, essentially giving it to the colleges that were also connected to it doing military research.
That, in conjunction with a new standard from Bell Labs called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internetworking Protocol... where the Internet got its name), which Bell Labs provided to the colleges for free, the Internet was born. Since then, of course, it has grown.
