Ethernet originally emerged from a project at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the 1970s, developed by Robert Metcalfe and his colleagues. It was designed to facilitate communication between computers over a coaxial cable, enabling them to share resources and data efficiently. The term "Ethernet" was inspired by the concept of "ether," a medium that allows for the transmission of signals, similar to how light travels through space. This innovation laid the groundwork for networking technologies that followed.
