The internet is about 40 years old. J.C.R. Licklider of the Massachusetts of technology first produced a global network of computers in 1962 and moved to the Defence Advace Research projects Agency (DARPA) to develop it.
On September 2, 1969, Stephen Crocker and Vinton Serf, two graduate students at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), linked to large countries using a 15 foot cable and tested a new way to exchange data.
In January, three other nodes were added to this network. The earliest idea of the computer network intended to allow general communication between users of various computers was the APRANET, the world’s first packet switching network.
