Before the internet, computers had been around since the mid-1950s. During those times, there was limited communication with the few computers that existed around the world. Computers could only interact with other devices if they were nearby, meaning that there had to be a physical connection between them to communicate. J.C. R. Licklider was the one to propose a network with no physical bounds that could go beyond the local devices [1]. After his proposal, the government and MIT began the first developments of packet switches that helped develop networks that contributed to what we call the Internet. Packet-switching was a way for people to break down information data into packets that could then be redistributed across many networks. These networks included: ARPANET, NPL, and UUCP, all played a significant part in the merging of networks to create a global Transmission Control Program (TCP) also known as internetworking or, in modern terms, the internet. Many were involved in t...
