===Creation of ARPA===

===ARPA and IPTO===

The Advance Research Project Agency was created after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957. The agency commissioned Dr. [[Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider|J.C.R. Licklider]] from [[BBN|Bolt, Beranek and Newman]] in 1962 to lead the agency's research project to improve and maximize the use of computers for the miliary through the Command Control Center. Licklider a universal network that will allow people to communicate with each other using the commputer. He called the first group of computer specialist working in the research project as the Intergalactic Network. Licklider's interest in connecting the community through a computer network resulted in a more advanced research project, which lead to the creation of ARPANET.<ref>[http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~acc/docs/arpa--1.html Part I: The history of ARPA leading up to the ARPANET]</ref>

The IPTO became Licklider's office, which oversees a more advanced research project leading to the creation of ARPANET.<ref>[http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/~acc/docs/arpa--1.html Part I: The history of ARPA leading up to the ARPANET]</ref>
