  • DARPA was started

  • Packet switching networks such as ARPANET, NPL network......

    Packet switching networks such as ARPANET, NPL network, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of communications protocols.

  • The work of Tim Berners-Lee

    In the 1980s, the work of Tim Berners-Lee in the United Kingdom, on the World Wide Web, theorised the fact that protocols link hypertext documents into a working system,[4] marking the beginning of the modern Internet.

  • Access to the ARPANET was expanded

    Access to the ARPANET was expanded in 1981 when the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the Computer Science Network (CSNET)

  • Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP)

    In 1982, the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) was introduced as the standard networking protocol on the ARPANET

  • NSF funded the establishment for national supercomputing centers at several universities

    In the early 1980s the NSF funded the establishment for national supercomputing centers at several universities, and provided interconnectivity in 1986 with the NSFNET project

  • Commercial Internet service providers (ISPs)

    Commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) began to emerge in the very late 1980s

  • Limited private connections

    Limited private connections to parts of the Internet by officially commercial entities emerged in several American cities by late 1989 and 1990,

  • ARPANET decomission

    The ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990

  • Global communication of internet

    The Internet's takeover of the global communication landscape was almost instant in historical terms: it only communicated 1% of the information flowing through two-way telecommunications networks in the year 1993

  • Impact of internet

    Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on culture and commerce, including the rise of near-instant communication by electronic mail, instant messaging, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone calls, two-way interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with its discussion forums, blogs, social networking, and online shopping sites.

  • The NSFNET

    the NSFNET was decommissioned in 1995, removing the last restrictions on the use of the Internet to carry commercial traffic.
