On October 29, 1969, the Internet was born.
In 1957, after the Soviet Union launched the first artificial Earth satellite, the U.S. Department of Defense considered it necessary to develop a reliable data transmission system.The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has proposed developing a computer network for this.
And the project was undertaken by employees of several American educational institutions at once: the Universities of California San Francisco and Santa Barbara, the University of Utah and the Stanford Research Center.The computer network was called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network).It was in 1969 that these educational institutions were merged with each other for the first time.The first ARPANET server was installed on September 2, 1969 at the University of California, Los Angeles.A Honeywell DP-516 computer equipped with 24 KB of RAM was used.Each computer could connect to six other devices via telephone lines rented from AT&T.Data was transmitted at speeds of up to 56 Kbit/s.
