Invention of Internet technology did not happen overnight. Although there are number of dates, which you will come across, the actual invention cannot be attributed to a single date or year. The process of invention of the Internet spans approximately a quarter of a century. You must read the next part of the article to find an answer to the question which year was the Internet invented. However, before you go on to read the next bit of information, I would like to bring it to your notice, that although WWW and Internet are used interchangeably, they are not the same.
Who Invented the Internet
To the invention of Internet, no one person was responsible, as invention of Internet has happened over an extended period of time. The idea, which lead to the development of Internet was put forth by J.C.R. Licklider in his paper about computer networking in 1960. He went on to head Information Processing Department in the U.S. military's research agency. He was helped by Lawrence Roberts and his team in the research and development.
The next step in the development of Internet was packet switching technology, due to which information could be transmitted between computers in bundles, which was and still is called packets. This research was carried out by scientists at various places namely MIT, the National Physical Laboratory and RAND. There efforts paid off and it led to the activation of ARPAnet between UCLA and Stanford University in 1969.
