The history of the internet timeline began when Leonard Kleinrock conceived the concept of the World Wide Web. In 1961, he published a piece about the “ARPANET“ in a piece entitled “Information Flow in the Large Communication Nets”. Eight years later, Kleinrock directed the transmission of the first message from his host computer to pass over the Internet on October 29, 1969. Technology has been rapidly developing since then and continues to do so even today.
Interesting to see e-mail, Project Gutenberg and the IRC (Internet Relay Chat) all precede the arrival of web browsers, and they are still going strong to this day.
Internet trolls, flashy web browsers and Google Search only came much later… Back then, each innovation was some major new change that took the Internet world by storm. I still remember trying Netscape Navigator browser back then.
