Answer 3

Leonard Kleinrock is credited with crafting the first public concept for the Internet with his paper, "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets" on May 31st, 1961. Dr. Kleinrock's work in this timeframe (which comprised his PHD work at MIT) was to establish the mathematical theory of packet-based networks. In the same timeframe, J.C.R. Licklider would become the head of the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or at DARPA. He would provide his vision or dream of a world-wide network and would provide the vision that would later become ARPANET. Since Licklider was not an experienced computer programmer; however, he would recruit Lawrence Roberts to lead the team that would eventually create and deploy ARPANET in 1967. Roberts would be the first scientist or engineer to implement the packet switching network that Kleinrock first created. This form of packet switching is still used as the primary means of transferring information to this day on the web.
