Detailed explanation-3: -The Internet was first invented for military purposes, and then expanded to the purpose of communication among scientists. The invention also came about in part by the increasing need for computers in the 1960s.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was installed on SATNET in 1982 and the ARPANET in January 1983 after the DoD made it standard for all military computer networking.
