The realization of the vision of LIcklider for the ARPANET as universal communication network became evident in September 1969 when Leonard Kleinrock, head of the Network Measurement Center ([[NMC]]) at UCLA and his team which include Vinton Cerf, Steve Crocker, Bill Naylor, Jon Postel, and Mike Wingfield connected one of the center's SDS Sigma 7 computers to an Interface Message Processor ([[IMP]]). The team from UCLA were able to successfully exchange the message "Do it to it, Truett" with BBN hardware designer Ben Barker. On that day, ARPANET/Internet was born.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm ARPANET-The First Internet]</ref>

The second node connected to the ARPANET was the NLS System (on-Line System) developed by [[Douglas Engelbart]].<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/w/wi_engelbart.htm Douglas Engelbart]</ref> He invented the mouse, graphical user interface and the hypertext linking system which are key components of the modern computer.<ref>[http://unrev.stanford.edu/ Engelbart's Unfinished Revolutions]</ref>
