+   > January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the
+   > Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not
+   > have a standard way to communicate with each other. A new
+   > communications protocol was established called Transfer Control
+   > Protocol/Internetwork Protocol (TCP/IP). This allowed different
+   > kinds of computers on different networks to "talk" to each other.
+   > ARPANET and the Defense Data Network officially changed to the
+   > TCP/IP standard on January 1, 1983, hence the birth of the
+   > Internet. All networks could now be connected by a
+   > universal language.
