as much as it was for military use ("Birth of the Internet"). The network was first set up by an organization known as the "Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA)," which
in 1967 asked the Stanford Research Institute located in Menlo Park, California, to "design the system" ("Birth of the Internet"). Researchers at Stanford had a system designed within a year,
which APRA then "contracted out for implementation" ("Birth of the Internet"). In August of 1969 the "first two nodes were installed at UCLA and Stanford Research Institute," but the
two machines didnt make contact until two months later ("Birth of the Internet"). Then, at 10.30 p.m. on October 29, 1969, UCLA engineering professor Leonard Kleinrock and student
Charley Kline attempted to send a message from one Honeywell computer to a similar unit 600 kilometres away at Stanford Research Institute in Palo Alto. The connection speed was 50
kb/s ("Birth of the Internet). Ironically enough, they wanted to send the word "login" as the first message, but the system crashed when they hit the letter "g," cutting
the message to "lo" ("Birth of the Internet"). It was a somewhat rocky beginning, and critics will note that systems have been crashing ever since; however, they completed the message
an hour later, and an entity called ARPANET came into being ("Birth of the Internet"). This particular source contains a timeline that is valuable in tracing events as they occurred
in development. For instance, in 1982 the "Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) established as system by which different networks can communicate" ("Birth of the Internet"). It is
