FIRST STEP
In 1969, on October 29 at 9 pm, the first sessions of the network, located 640 kilometers apart - at the University of California Los Angeles and at the Stanford Research Institute - held the first communication session.

Historical document ARPANET IMP log: the first message sent through ARPANET. 10:30 pm, October 29, 1969. This passage is kept in Los Angeles.

After the first successful transfer of data in the ARPANET network, the next milestone was the development in 1971 of the first program to send e-mail over the network. This program instantly gained popularity

By 1973, the network included the first foreign organizations from Great Britain and Norway through the transatlantic telephone cable. Since then, the network has become international.

Since 1996, the World Wide Web (WWW) almost completely replaces the concept of the Internet, and overtakes the FTP file transfer protocol

In the 1990s, there was a massive unification of most of the existing networks under the Internet flag (although such networks as Fidonet remained separate). The openness of technical standards in many ways contributed to the rapid growth of the network. By 1997, the Internet had about 10 million computers and more than 1 million domain names. The Internet is the most popular medium for information exchange.

Now you can access the Internet through telephone, radio channels, cellular communication, communication satellites, cable television, special fiber-optic lines and even electric wires. And since January 22, 2010, direct Internet access has appeared on the International Space Station.
