The Internet is a structured, organized system A Brief History A network is a group of connected communicating devices such as computers and printers. An intemet (note the lowercase letter i) is two or more networks that can communicate with each other. The most notable internet is called the Intemet (uppercase letter 1), a collaboration of more than hundreds of thousands of interconnected networks, Yet this extraordinary communication system only came into being in 1969, In the mid- 1960s, mainframe computers in research organizations were standalone devices. In 1967, at an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) meeting, ARPA presented its ideas for ARPANET By 1969, ARPANET was a reality, Four nodes, at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), Stanford Research Institute (SRD, and the University of Utah, were connected via the IMPs to form a network.
