Intro and thesis

On October 29, 1969, a message was sent between two research computers located 350 miles apart at UCLA and Stanford University. This marked the beginning of ARPANET, a project initiated by Robert Taylor that would revolutionize the internet. ARPANET's innovations, including TCP and IP, unified networks and laid the foundations for the World Wide Web. It had a significant impact on the world, comparable to the printing press and telephone. On October 29, 1969, at 1030 p.m., a message was sent over two research computers. These computers were located 350 miles apart. One of the computers was located at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the other computer was located at Stanford University. This message, which was sent on those computers, marked the start of a project that would change the world. But what was this project called? ARPANET, which was an American governmental project initiated by Robert Taylor, marked the beginning of the Internet Revolution. ARPANET's operational period, spanning from 1969 to 1990, led to many innovations that would be crucial to the development of the Internet. Their most important innovations, TCP and IP, unified the networks of the time and remain in use today. ARPANET will lay the foundations for Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web, forging a globally interconnected world unlike even the printing press or the telephone.
