REALLY COOL NEW TIMELINE FOR THE get ready for it.... THE INTERNET A TIMELINE FOR THE INTERNET. THIS HAS ALL OF THE MAJOR INVENTIONS THAT LEAD TO THE INTERNET SO YEAH GUYS GET READY FOR THIS!!!

In DARPA, a government agency, August 1962, the idea of a "Galactic Network" was proposed by MIT J.C.R. Licklider. October 1962, Licklider convinced DARPA to work on this concept. In 1965 Thomas Merrill, Roberts connected the TX-2 computer in Mass. to the Q-32 in California with a low speed dial-up telephone line creating the first wide-area computer network ever built.

ARPANET started getting designed late 1966, with funding from Roberts to DARPA. While it got published in 1967, it got refined in 1968 using a RFQ (request for quotation) for getting a key component called a Interface Message Processor (IMP's). The RFQ was wont December 1968. -
Raymond Samuel Tomlinson was an American computer programmer who implemented the first email program on the ARPANET system, the precursor to the Internet, in 1971; It was the first system able to send mail between users on different hosts connected to ARPANET. -
The File Transfer Protocol is a standard communication protocol used for the transfer of computer files from a server to a client on a computer network. FTP is built on a client–server model architecture using separate control and data connections between the client and the server. FTP users may authenticate themselves with a clear-text sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. -
The Xerox Alto was a computer designed from its inception to support an operating system based on GUI. The first machines were introduced on 1973, a decade before mass-market GUI machines became available. The Alto is contained in a relatively small cabinet and uses a custom CPU built from multiple SSI and MSI integrated circuits. Only small numbers were built initially, but by the late 1970s, about 1,000 were in use at various Xerox laboratories, and about another 500 in several universities. -
Usenet is a worldwide distributed discussion system available on computers. It was developed from the general-purpose Unix-to-Unix Copy dial-up network architecture. Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis conceived the idea in 1979, and it was established in 1980. -
The domain name system is a naming database in which internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol addresses. The domain name system maps the name people use to locate a website to the IP address that a computer uses to locate that website. -
The Exterior Gateway Protocol was a routing protocol used to connect different autonomous systems on the Internet from the mid-1980s until the mid-1990s, when it was replaced by Border Gateway Protocol. -
Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
-
The Gopher protocol is a communication protocol designed for distributing, searching, and retrieving documents in Internet Protocol networks. The design of the Gopher protocol and user interface is menu-driven, and presented an alternative to the World Wide Web in its early stages, but ultimately fell into disfavor, yielding to HTTP. The Gopher ecosystem is often regarded as the effective predecessor of the World Wide Web. -
HTML was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991 but was not officially released. It was published in 1995 as HTML 2.0. HTML 4.01 was published in late 1999 and was a major version of HTML. HTML is a very evolving markup language and has evolved with various versions updating. -
Border Gateway Protocol is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems on the Internet.
