The document provides a timeline of the history and development of the Internet from 1969 to 2005 in 3 main sections: 1) The birth of the Internet in 1969 with the establishment of ARPANET by the US Department of Defense and the development of TCP/IP in the 1970s which defined future communication protocols. 2) Major developments in the 1980s and 1990s including the commercialization of the Internet, the release of the World Wide Web by CERN in 1993, and exponential growth in the number of internet hosts and websites. 3) Recent milestones like the rise of popular web browsers in the 1990s and the One Laptop Per Child project in 2005 to provide affordable computers to children worldwide.
