Beginning in 1962, Licklider strengthened his "Galactic Network" idea, which included an expansive network of computers that would offer its users access to data and programs from a series of sites. After becoming the first head of [[DARPA]]'s computer research program in October 1962, Licklider successfully convinced his colleagues of the vision's merit.

It wasn't until [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Kleinrock Leonard Kleinrock] pursued the feasibility of [[packet switching]] a method of delivery that sends information in small packets, or portions through different routes, that the idea gained traction in a concrete manner. Kleinrock, along with a few other colleagues conducted a small experiment including two computers used at different geographic points, one in Massachusetts and one in California. Using a low-speed dial-up line, the researchers developed a connection, testing the packet transmission. The experiment was a minor success, scientists in Stanford received the 'L' and 'O' of 'LOGIN', and the transmission crashed ARPA's fragile network. <ref name="Hx of Internet" />
