The US Government had little to do with inventing the internet.
It was gradually built up of private sector inventions.
- 1830: Joseph Henry independently demonstrated long distance communication by sending an electronic current over one mile of wire to activate an electromagnet which caused a bell to strike. Thus the electric telegraph was born.
- 1876: Alexander Graham Bell invented the Telephone in his own private business with financial support from Sanders and Hubbard.
- 1880: Alexander Graham Bell invented the "Photo-phone" which transmitted a voice signal on a beam of light in his own private business.
- 1888: The medical team of Roth and Reuss of Vienna used bent glass rods to illuminate body cavities.
- 1900: Granville T. Woods working for Danville and Southern Railroad in Nebraska invented the Multiplex Telegraph.
- 1920: John Logie Baird and Clarence W. Hansell patented the idea of using arrays of transparent rods to transmit images for television and facsimiles respectively.
- 1940: George Robert Stibitz of Bell Labs invent the data modem that allowed computers to communicate over telephone lines.
- 1947: W. Rae Young and Douglas H. Ring, Bell Labs engineers, proposed hexagonal cells for mobile phones.
- 1948: Phil Porter, a Bell Labs engineer, proposed that cell towers be at the corners of the hexagons rather than the centers and have directional antennas pointing in 3 directions.
- 1960: Bell Labs developed the electronics for cellular phones.
- 1960: The network switch idea was Leonard Kleinrock's of MIT galactic network. In addition to Kleinrock the ideas from Licklider and Robert Taylor helped create the idea of the network.
- 1962: US government DARPA & Project MAC funded a cooperation between Bell Labs, General Electric and MIT with an initial two-million-dollar grant to create ARPA net. At 22:30 hours on October 29, 1969. The first ARPANET link was established between the University of California, Los Angeles and the Stanford Research Institute
- 1970: Corning Glass researchers Robert Maurer, Donald Keck and Peter Schultz invented fiber optic wire or "Optical Waveguide Fibers"
- 1974: Xerox PARC developed the first TCP/IP specification & gateway router. Where the differences between network protocols were hidden by using a common internetwork protocol, and, instead of the network being responsible for reliability, as in the ARPANET, the hosts became responsible.
- 1981: Xerox PARC developed the first graphical user interface (GUI), touch screen monitor & laser mouse. This was adopted by Apple OS & Microsoft Windows.
- 1982: Several disjointed separate packet-switched networks including ARPANET, Telenet, X.25, unix-to-unix copy (UUCP) and FidoNet had limited gateways between networks. This led to the implementation of Xerox's TCP/IP Gateway Router protocol for internetworking, where multiple different networks could be joined together into a super-framework of networks. By defining a simple common network system, the Internet Protocol Suite, the concept of the network could be separated from its physical implementation. This spread of internetworking began to form into the idea of a global network that would be called the Internet, based on standardized protocols officially implemented. Adoption and interconnection occurred quickly across the advanced telecommunication networks of the western world, and then began to penetrate into the rest of the world as it became the de-facto international standard for the global network.
- 1983: TCP/IP protocols even replaced NCP as ARPANET’s principal protocol.
- 1990: The inferior ARPANET was formally decommissioned.
what a crock of shit. The internet was invented entirely by the Pentagon. ARPANET - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
