On October 29, 1969, Licklider for the first time connected the two nodes between UCLA and SRI International at Menlo Park California which was the beginning of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) which is one the world today’s internet is based on. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) network was firstly developed by Vint Cerf and Bob Khan in 1973. In 1974 the term internet was first used to narrate a single global TCP/IP network by CERF and his colleagues. And then in the year 1983, 1st January TCP/IP-wide range network has brought up a “network of networks” which came up as a today’s modern internet.
This modern network work for a decade till 1990s but then did not get much appreciable publicity. So then in 1991, 6th August the European Organization for Nuclear Research, publish the new World Wide Web (www) project which was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.
