Licklider was succeeded by [[Ivan Sutherland]] who developed the Sketchpad program which enabled computer displays to be saved and modified in a memory. He also developed computer graphics. Inspired by his predecessors' vision of universal network, in 1965, Sutherland awarded a contract  [[Lawrence Roberts]] from [[MIT]] to develop the computer networking technology. Roberts worked with [[Thomas Merril]] and they were able to implement the first packet dial-up telephone connection exchange between a TX-2 computer at MIT and a Q-32 computer in California.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_ipto.htm Sutherland]</ref>
