The day the internet was born
Body
Happy Birthday, internet!
> 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.
