In 1969 it started to become with four universities connected together geographically diverse areas. With the development of the TCP/IP protocols in the 1970s, the ARPANET turned into a worldwide network which is currently called internet.

  • In 1965 two computers at the MIT communicate with each other by using packet-switching
  • In 1968 first packet switching network protocol `Interface Message Processor` (IMP) which is started use in ARPANET.

  • In 1983 Domain Name System (DNS) is established with `.edu` , `.gov`, `.com`, `.net`
  • In 1985 the first domain is registered which is symbolics.com
  • In 1986 56 Kbps dialups started to be used on the internet
  • In 1987 Cisco ships its first router
  • In 1990 HTML standard is created for World Wide Web  (WWW)
  • In 1993 first general browser Mozaic is created for WWW
  • In 1998 Google Search Engine is born
