When did Internet start?

Answer 1

What we know as the internet today actually started in 1968 as a government project.

During the cold war, the government wanted a way to communicate between military bases in a way that couldn't be interrupted. The idea that they came up with was a "loop" of communications lines. This way, if one part of the loop got blown up or disrupted, the rest of the loop would still function.

It was originally called ARPANET, which was the United States Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) network.

Well, at the same time the space program was beginning, and the government realized a satellite was a LOT harder to hit than something on the ground, and they didn't have to run wires to it, so ARPANET was abandoned, and given to the research facilities (universities) that were already a part of it.

And Al Gore had nothing to do with any of it. ;)

Answer 2

Its origin began in the 1950's. Faced with the threat of the cold war, US Military devised ARPA. ARPA later on commisioned MIT to create networks.

The end product was ARPANET. The network was small and its nodes includes UCLA and NASA. In 1973, ARPANET became global by getting in connection with London University. In the 1970's the history of internet had began and email became possible and UNIX was created.
