===ARPANET===
The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was a branch of the United State's military. It used the packet-switching method to transmit information between various 'nodes' across the country. It is considered to be a technical predecessor to the Internet. It was the first network to use TCP/IP, developed for [[Vint Cerf]] and [[Robert Kahn]].

The nodes were delegated individually to different campuses located in Western and Northeastern United States. This process began in 1969 when [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBN_Technologies BBN], a research and development firm based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, delivered the first Interface Message Processor, or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_Message_Processor IMP]<ref name="Living Internet">http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm.

Here, graduate students [[Vinton Cerf]], [[Steve Crocker]], [[Bill Naylor]], [[John Postel]] and [[Mike Wingfield]] worked to connect their node by hardware with their IMP. The work was a success and messages between the two machines passed without interference. Other deliveries to campuses followed shortly, and are included below:
