The Evolution of the ARPANET

"It was what ARPA liked to call a 'high-risk, high-payoff bet,' and it was."
- Leonard Kleinrock, 3/13/13

Timeline of Growth:

"[UCLA was] the first node on the ARPANET; that was in September 1969. A month later, out of my laboratory, we launched the first message between the first two computers over a computer network; that was October 29, 1969,
and this then grew into what we now call the 'Internet'."
