The Internet Turns 35

Society | September 2, 2004, Thursday // 00:00

The world marks Thursday 35 years since the progenitor of the Interned was switched on.

The Net started as a cable linking two computers to share meaningless test data. Stephen Crocker and Vinton Cerf were among the graduate students who joined UCLA Professor Len Kleinrock in that engineering laboratory on September 2, 1969.

A few years after the computers were linked, the e-mail was launched. The domain name system began in the 1980s, and 1990 saw the World Wide Web, now the second most popular application behind e-mail.

Today, Crocker is still designing better tools for online collaboration.
