ARPANET access points in the 1970s. The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was the first wide-area packet-switched network with distributed control and one of the first computer networks to implement the TCP/IP protocol suite. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet. The ARPANET was established by the ...
Ray Tomlinson. Raymond Samuel Tomlinson (April 23, 1941 – March 5, 2016) was an American [1][2][3][4] computer programmer who implemented the first email program on the ARPANET system, the precursor to the Internet, in 1971; [5][6][7][8] It was the first system able to send mail between users on different hosts connected to ARPANET.
Tomlinson's program was an immediate hit. An ARPA study in 1973, a year after network email was introduced to the ARPANET community, found that three-quarters of the traffic over the ARPANET consisted of email messages. [82] [83] [81]
Larry Roberts (December 21, 1937 – December 26, 2018) was an American computer scientist and Internet pioneer.. As a program manager and later office director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency, Roberts and his team created the ARPANET using packet switching techniques invented by British computer scientist Donald Davies and American engineer Paul Baran.
The history of the Internet has its origin in the efforts of scientists and engineers to build and interconnect computer networks.The Internet Protocol Suite, the set of rules used to communicate between networks and devices on the Internet, arose from research and development in the United States and involved international collaboration, particularly with researchers in the United Kingdom and ...
Steve Crocker (born 1944) has worked in the ARPANET and Internet communities since their inception. As a UCLA graduate student in the 1960s, he led the creation of the ARPANET host-to-host protocol, the Network Control Protocol. [92] He also created the Request for Comments (RFC) series, [93] authoring the very first RFC and many more. [94]
It was the first search engine that used hyperlinks to measure the quality of websites it was indexing, [27] predating the very similar algorithm patent filed by Google two years later in 1998. [28] Larry Page referenced Li's work as a citation in some of his U.S. patents for PageRank. [29] Li later used his Rankdex technology for the Baidu ...
In a sign of future growth, 15 sites were connected to the young ARPANET by the end of 1971. [29] [30] These early years were documented in the 1972 film Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing. [31]
