!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] became the [Internet] and is really and [Abbreviation] for [Advanced Research Projects Agency Network]
Paul Baran at the [RAND Corporation] decided to create a computer [network] that was independent of centralized command and control, and would thus be able to withstand a nuclear attack that targets such centralized hubs.
In August [1964|Year 1964], he published an eleven-volume memorandum for the [RAND Corporation] outlining his research.[2]
Baran’s network was based on a technology called [Packet switching] that allows messages to break themselves apart into small fragments. Each fragment, or [packet], is able to find its own way to its destination.
Once there, the packets reassemble to create the original [message].
In [1969|Year 1969], the [Advanced Research Projects Agency] ([ARPA]) at the [United States Department of Defense] started the [ARPANET], the first [network] to use Baran’s [Packet switching] technology.
The [ARPANET] allowed academics to share resources and transfer files. In its early years, the [ARPANET] (later renamed [DARPAnet]) existed unnoticed by the outside world, with only a few hundred participating computers, or “hosts.”
All addressing for this network was maintained by a single machine located at the [Stanford Research Institute|SRI International] ([SRI]) in Menlo Park, California. By [1984|Year 1984] the network had grown larger. Paul Mockapetris invented a new addressing scheme, this one [Decentralized system], called the [Domain Name System] ([DNS]).
Intergalactic Computer Network was "term" and a computer networking concept used in [ARPA] by J.C.R. Licklider, the first director of the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) in the early [1960s].
