It was established by the Us department of defense. It started in the early 1960s

and the work resulted in development on initial protocols, languages and
frameworks for network communication. It had 4 intersections at University of
California at Los Angeles (UCLA), Stanford Research Institute (SRI), University
of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and University of Utah. The first message
was exchanged between UCLA and SRI. ARPANET connected DOD with those
universities due to their defense-related research. Most of mayor universities
across the country were covered. Two universities, one from UK and the other
from Norway connected to the ARPANET and a network of networks was
formed. The term internet was created to describe this network of networks
Together they also developed protocols to facilitate information exchange over
the Internet. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) still forms the backbone of
networking.
Telenet was the first commercial adaptation of ARPANET that was introduced in
1974 and ISP (internet service provider) was also introduced. ISP`s concept was
to provide uninterrupted internet connection to its customers at affordable rates.
With internet`s commercialization, more and more networks around the globe
began to develop. Each network used different protocols to communicate over
the network preventing them from connecting seamlessly. In the 1980s, Tim
Berners-Lee led a group of Computer scientists at CERN, Switzerland, to create
a seamless network of varied networks, called the World Wide Web (WWW).
World Wide Web used hypertexts to connect websites and webpages in a
complex web. Hypertext is a word or group of words linking to another web page
of the same or different website. When the hypertext is clicked, another web
page opens. ARPANET was able to become WWW due to many achievements
and researches made by computer scientist all over the world.
