The internet was created through contributions from many individuals, though some key figures include Leonard Kleinrock, whose 1961 paper initially proposed the concept, and J.C.R. Licklider who envisioned a "galactic network" as director of the IPTO in 1962. The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) developed in 1966 was the first wide area network linking universities and research centers using packet switching, and marked the beginning of what we now know as the internet. Key early developments included the first email sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1972 using the @ symbol and the establishment of TCP/IP protocols in 1983 which became the standard for internet communication.

to its creation.
• The initial idea was created as being Leonard Kleinrock’s

ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) goes online in
December, connecting four major U.S. universities. Designed for
research, education, and government organizations, it provides a
communications network linking the country in the event that a military attack
destroys conventional communications systems.

Electronic mail is introduced by Ray Tomlinson, a
Cambridge, Mass., computer scientist. He uses the @ to distinguish between
the sender's name and network name in the email address.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is designed and in
1983 it becomes the standard for communicating between computers over the
Internet. One of these protocols, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), allows users to
log onto a remote computer, list the files on that computer, and download files
from that computer.
