WORLDKINGS - On This Day - April 07, 2021 - Internet's symbolic birth date, in 1969

07-04-2021

(WorldKings.org) The Internet is a valuable resource, but it didn’t always exist. It took some work to establish the Internet. On April 7, 1969, published documents of the first request for comments [RFC] paved the way for the birth of the Internet.

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies.

 

 

The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and file sharing.

 

 

An RFC is authored by engineers and computer scientists in the form of a memorandum describing methods, behaviors, research, or innovations applicable to the working of the Internet and Internet-connected systems. It is submitted either for peer review or simply to convey new concepts, information, or (occasionally) engineering humor. The IETF adopts some of the proposals published as RFCs as Internet Standards.
