History of Computer Networking

In 1969, the first electronic message, 'L' and 'O', was sent between UCLA and Stanford, marking the beginning of the internet. At that time, computers were large and not interconnected. The Pentagon's Advanced Research Project Agency developed interface message processors to enable communication. Despite initial failure, the full message 'login' was eventually sent. Today, the internet connects 5.4 billion people worldwide, playing a crucial role in modern life.
