As people of the modern age, we definitely take the internet for granted. True, some of us may remember a time when we couldn\u2019t just google<\/a> an answer. But, for the majority of people in the developed world we could not imagine our day to day lives without the world wide web. In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll look at the history of the internet from its humble beginnings to the sprawling empire it is in this century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Birth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the evening of October 29th 1969, a simple message was transferred from one computer to another more than 350 miles away. Consequently, the receiving computer crashed immediately after. But, it was the start of the history of the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, this new network was called ARPANET. Funded by the military, their goal was to be able to command and control computers remotely in case of a nuclear attack. After all, this was during the cold war and a man-made apocalypse was on the mind of every American. On top of this goal was the computer scientists’ own mission. They wanted to be able to access information on a certain computer from any machine around the world. Hence, the need for electronic messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
