While we would expect the technology to become bigger and more flexible, it is impossible for us to appreciate the invention of the Internet in one person. The Internet was the work of many pioneering scientists, programmers, and engineers who each developed new features and technologies that eventually became the “highway of knowledge” we know today.
Long before the advent of technology to build the Internet, many scientists were expecting the existence of world-wide information networks. Nikola Tesla played on the idea of a “wireless system of the world” in the early 1900s, and thinkers such as Paul Otlet and Vanesvar Bush conceived through electronic, searchable literature and media programs in the 1930s and 1940s.
However, the first active online system would not have arrived in the early 1960s, when MIT’s J.C.R. Licklider expanded the concept of “Intergalactic Network” computers. Shortly thereafter, computer scientists developed the concept of “packet exchange,” which is a way of successfully transmitting electronic data that would later become one of the major components of the Internet.
On October 29, 1969, ARPAnet sent its first message: a “node-to-node” connection from one computer to another. The message— “LOGIN” – was short and simple, but it still crashed into a new ARPA network: The Stanford computer only received the first two letters of note.
