Arpanet. conceived in 1958. First hard draft in 1961. You're an
idiot. Want the REAL chronology, dumbfuck?
This is for both Usenet as well as the internet.

Here it is:
Here is the real chronology:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet Chronology
Lawrence G. Roberts
March 22 1997 - updated Oct 24, 1999
* Jul-61 First Paper on Packet Switching Theory, Leonard
Kleinrock, "Information Flow in Large Communication
Nets.", RLE Quarterly Progress Report. This was the theoretical work
that convinced Roberts that packets could be used
for the Internet.
* Aug-62 First Paper on Internet Concept by J.C.R. Licklider &
Welden Clark, "On-Line Man Computer Communication".
* Oct-62 ARPA Computer Program Begins, J.C.R. Licklider becomes
first ARPA IPTO Director. Writes internal papers on
Galactic Network. Lick leaves in 64. It was Licklider's concept, which
spurred Roberts to build the Internet.
* 1964 Book - Communication Nets by Leonard Kleinrock provides
the network design and queuing theory necessary to
build packet networks. This work was a major factor in designing the
communications network for the ARPANET. It shows
that packet switching would work, whereas until the ARPANET was built
in 1969, most communications experts claimed that
packet switching would never work.
* Mar-64 First Paper on Secure Packetized Voice, Paul Baran, "On
Distributed Communications Networks", IEEE
Transactions on Systems. It is from this paper that the rumor was
started that the Internet was created by the military
to withstand nuclear war. This is totally false. Even though this Rand
work was based on this premise, the ARPANET and
the Internet stemmed from the MIT work of Licklider, Kleinrock and
Roberts, and had no relation to Baran's work.
* Sep-64 Ivan Sutherland becomes second ARPA IPTO Director. Ivan
leaves in 1966. Ivan believed in the importance
Licklider's Internet concept and funded the first network research
(Roberts @ MIT) and then tried to hire Roberts into ARPA.
* Nov-64 Homestead Meeting between J.C.R. Licklider and Lawrence
Roberts sparks Roberts to undertake the creation
of the Internet. This was the critical turning point where Lick's
Internet concept is transferred to Roberts to be
implemented.
* Feb-65 First Network Experiment Contracted, Ivan Sutherland,
ARPA, gives contract to Lawrence Roberts at MIT
Lincoln Labs.
* Jul-65 Contract to Tomas Marill at CCA from Roberts at Lincoln
Lab to program the network experiment. Tom Marill
had also been convinced by Licklider to pursue networking.
* Oct-65 First Actual Network Experiment, Lincoln Labs TX-2 tied
to SDC's Q32, Lawrence Roberts, MIT Lincoln Labs.
This experiment was the first time two computers talked to each other
and the first time packets were used to
communicate between computers.
* Oct-66 First Paper on Network Experiments, Thomas Marill &
Lawrence Roberts, "Toward a Cooperative Network of
Time-Shared Computers", Fall AFIPS Conf.
* Aug-66 Robert Taylor becomes third ARPA IPTO Director and hires
Roberts. Taylor and Sutherland tried to hire
Roberts throughout early 1966. When Roberts refused, Taylor appealed
to ARPA Director Charlie Hertzfeld who then put
pressure on the Director of Lincoln Labs who then convinced Roberts to
take the ARPA job. Taylor also obtained a
preliminary budget approval for a network experiment from Hertzfeld.
* Dec-66 ARPA Communications Program Begins, Lawrence Roberts
becomes ARPA IPTO Chief Scientist and begins the
design of the APRANET. The ARPANET program as proposed to Congress by
Roberts was to explore computer resource sharing
and packet switched communications and had nothing to do with nuclear
war or survivability. Reliability, however was one
of the key network issues that dictated packet switching.
* Apr-67 ARPANET Design Session held by Roberts at APRA IPTO PI
meeting in Ann Arbor MI. It was at this meeting
that Wes Clark suggested the use of mini-computers for network packet
switches instead of using the main frame computers
themselves for switching.
* Oct-67 Original ARPANET Design Paper, Lawrence Roberts, "
Multiple Computer Networks and Intercomputer
Communication ", ACM Gatlinberg Conf.
* Oct-67 First Introduction of the word "Packet", Donald Davies,
Roger Scantlebury et all, "A digital
Communications Network for Computers
", ACM Gatlinberg Conf. Donald
Davies work at the UK's National Physical
Laboratory explored packet switching in their laboratory, but Donald
could not convince the British to fund a wide area
network experiment. His papers, however, did show the importance of
packet switching for computer communication. This
effort had been going on in parallel with the MIT efforts during 1966.
* Oct-67 The 3 Independent Packet Research Efforts (MIT, Rand,
NPL) Meet, Roberts and Scantlebury meet. Scantelbury
tells Roberts about Baran and the Rand work. After the Gatlinberg
meeting, Roberts read the Rand work and met with
Baran. Although the UK work convinced Roberts to use higher speed
lines (50 KB) and to use the word packet, the Rand
work had no significant impact on the ARPANET plans and Internet
history.
* Aug-68 Request For Proposals released for ARPANET by Lawrence
Roberts, ARPA. The RFP mandated the main packet
switching design elements for the ARPANET. This RFP was to contract
out the packet switch development. Roberts did the
overall network design. network economic analysis, line optimization,
and the selection of computer sites to be connected.
* Sep-68 ARPANET RFP Responses received. Evaluation was by
Roberts, ARPA staff, and a group of APRA contractors.
* Oct-68 Network Measurement Center at UCLA contracted by Roberts
at ARPA to Leonard Kleinrock at UCLA to undertake
ARPANET measurement. Kleinrock was chosen because of his previous
queuing theory work on networks and his ability to
then measure the real network and from this verify or fix the theory.
A sound, proven theory was critical for future
networks.
* Dec-68 APPANET Packet Switch Contract Awarded to BBN.ARPA,
under Robert leadership, awarded contract to Frank
Hearts group at BBN to build the ARPANET Interface Message Processors
(IMPs). The BBN group proposed to use Honeywell
516 mini-computers for the Interface Message Processors (IMP's). The
team included Bob Kahn, Severo Ornstein, Dave
Walden and many other key individuals.
* Apr-69 Host to IMP Spec. 1822 Released, written by Bob Kahn at
BNN. This spec. detailed the interface between
ARPANET host computers and the Interface Message Processors. The IMP's
needed to be connected to each computer with this
unique hardware interface. It needed to be designed and built for each
different computer attached.
* Apr-69 Request For Comments (RFC) #1, "Host Software" Released,
written by Steve Crocker, covering Host-to-Host
protocol, the first output of the Network Working Group (NWG). Crocker
had been asked by ARPA to collect a team, the
NWG, to design and specify the first Host Protocol. This was a major
undertaking, requiring considerable foresight into
the applications that might be forthcoming on the Internet.
* Sep-69 First Node of ARPANET Installed at UCLA Network
Measurement Center where Len Kleinrocks group connected
the IMP to their Sigma 7 computer.
* Oct-69 Second Node of ARPANET Installed at SRI where Doug
Engelbarts group connected it to their SDS 940
computer. The first ARPANET messages passed that day.
* Sep-69 Taylor leaves ARPA and Roberts becomes fourth Director
of IPTO.
* Nov-69 Third Node of the ARPANET Installed at UCSB making the
first redundant network.
* Dec-69 Fourth Node of the ARPANET Installed at the University
of Utah.
* Mar-70 ARPANET First Spans the US connecting BBN into the net.
* Mar-70 First Report on ARPANET at Spring AFIPS with paper by
Lawrence Roberts and Barry Wessler, "Computer
Network Development to Achieve Resource Sharing" and others.
* Jul-70 First Packet Radio -ALOHANET operational at U. Hawaii
under Norm Abramson using the ALOHA concept of
random packet transmission.
* Dec-70 Network Control Protocol (NCP), the first host-to-host
protocol, completed by Steve Crocker and NWG.
* Jul-71 Packet Satellite Technique Published by Lawrence Roberts
suggesting Slotted Aloha for short traffic and
Packet Reservation for long blocks.
* Sep-71 First Terminal Interface Processor (TIP) in ARPANET
permitting terminals to directly dial into the
network, greatly increasing the network growth.
* Mar-72 First basic Email Programs, SNGMSG and READMAIL written
by Ray Tomlinson at BBN. Mail spooled out like a
teletype printout.
* Jul-72 First Email Management Program, RD written by Larry
Roberts at ARPA to list incoming messages and support
forwarding, filing, and responding to them. This spurred many other
mail programs, however the descendents today (like
Eudora) still operate in basically the same way as RD.
* Jul-72 FTP Protocol Specification ( RFC 354) released by Jon
Postel, the editor of the Request For Comments, and
Abhay Bhushan, the chairman of the Network Working Group.
* Oct-72 First APRANET Public Demonstration at ICCC in Washington
organized by Robert Kahn of BBN. Show was a major
success. Kahn was then hired by Roberts into ARPA.
* May-73 First Ethernet Operation at Xerox PARC designed by
Robert Metcalfe. Bob had expanded the ALOHA packet
radio concepts and applied them to cable.
* Oct-73 Roberts leaves ARPA, joining Telenet, the first packet
switching carrier, as CEO. Licklider returns to
ARPA as Director IPTO. Telenet proved that packet switching was far
more economic than the telephone network for data.
Telenet created a way to connect computers to the network without a
specialized hardware interface by introducing and
standardizing X.25 for network to host computer interfacing.
* Apr-74 BBN released revised ARPANET Routing after complete
rewrite by John McQuillan fixing many long standing
bugs and greatly speeding up routing.
* May-74 First Internetworking Protocol, TCP outlined in a paper
by Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf, "A Protocol for
Packet Network Interconnection". Kahn and Cerf started design in 1973.
* Jul-75 ARPANET Transferred to DCA, the Defense Communications
Agency.
* Jul-76 Vinton Cerf joins APRA as program manager of the packet
radio, packet satellite and packet research
programs. Vint stayed until 1982.
* Oct-77 First TCP Operation over ARPANET, Packet Radio Net, and
SATNET (the satellite network).
* Nov-77 Complete Email Specification ( RFC 733) released by two
Email pioneers, Dave Crocker and John Vittal.
* Mar-78 TCP Split into TCP and IP, where TCP was the end-to-end
process and IP was the network routing process by
Vint Cerf, Jon Postel, and Danny Cohen.
* Jul-80 NSF Organizes CSNET increasing it to 70 sites by Jun-83
and integrating most computer science sites by 1986.
* 1983 DCA Splits MILNET off of ARPANET leaving 68 nodes on
ARPANET and 45 on MILNET, the military network.
* Nov-83 Domain Name System ( DNS ) Designed by Jon Postel, Paul
Mockapetris, and Craig Partridge to support the
Email addressing space, creating .edu, .gov, .com, .mil, .org, .net, &
..int.
* 1986 NSF Organizes NSFNET backbone to connect five
supercomputing centers and interconnect all other Internet
sites at 56 KB.
* 1986 First Interop Conference organized by Dan Lynch.
* 1987 NSF upgrades NSFNET to T1 speed lines.
* 1989 Internet opened to commercial mail through MCI Mail
* 1991 NSF Opens Internet to commercial use.

Notice the last line: 1991, NSF Opens Internet to commercial use.
Also notice how your guy is not mentioned in any way... at all.
Shows how little bent perception fucktards like you really know!
