Detailed explanation-1: -This eventually led to the formation of the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), the network that ultimately evolved into what we now know as the Internet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Such communication systems were typically limited to point to point communication between two end devices. Semaphore lines, telegraph systems and telex machines can be considered early precursors of this kind of communication. The telegraph in the late 19th century was the first fully digital communication system.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first workable prototype of the Internet came in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. Originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, ARPANET used packet switching to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network.
Detailed explanation-4: -ARPANET’s main use was for academic and research purposes. Many of the protocols used by computer networks today were developed for ARPANET, and it is considered the forerunner of the modern internet.
