-
An analog system called circuit switching is made. In circuit switching, information information flowing between two callers is restricted to one direct line
-
Leonard Kleinrock, installs the first computer processor capable of handling digital packet switched data on a UCLA "host" computer.

UCLA computer sends it's first packet of data over a telephone line to a computer at the Stanford Research Institute
-
ARPAnet researchers develop a computer program that enables people to send brief messages to each other across the internet
-
BBN, and Stanford create the internet by developing a type of communication software called TCP/IP
-

-
Tim Beners Lee creates the HTML( Hypertext Markup Language), to control the way that images on the web appear.
-
The search program Gopher is developed at the University of Minnesota, and becomes available to the public.
-
Computer researcher at Thinking Machines Corporation invents the Wide Area Information Servers. This permitted users to search for files based on their actual content
-
Marc Andressen, and Eric Bina make Mosaic this allowed images to be displayed directly on the web
-
Mosaic also added a feature called the Hyperlink. This allowed users to jump from one document to another by clicking on a link.
