196 1 year: Dr. leonard kleinrock of MIT published a paper on packet switching technology, which later became the standard communication mode of the Internet.
1969: The U.S. Department of Defense launched the computer network development plan "ARPANET" against nuclear attack.
197 1 year: ray Tomlinson, an engineer of BBN technology company in Cambridge, USA, developed e-mail. Since then, ARPANET technology has spread to universities and other research institutions.
1983: ARPANET announced the transition from the previous communication protocol "NCP" to the new protocol "TCP/IP".
1988: Steve Dorner, a student at the University of Illinois, USA, started to develop the e-mail software "Eudora".
199 1 year: Tim Berners-Lee, a scientist at CERN, developed the World Wide Web. He also developed an extremely simple browser (browsing software). Since then, the internet has spread to the public.
1993: Mark Andreesen, a student at the National Supercomputer Application Center of the University of Illinois, USA, and others developed a real browser mosaic. The software was later introduced to the market as Netscape Navigator. Since then, the Internet has exploded.
It is precisely because of the extensible communication protocol TCP/IP that different networks can be connected with each other. Therefore, Vinton G Cerf, a UCLA student who developed TCP/IP protocol, is even called "the father of the Internet" today.
