Detailed explanation-1: -The first workable prototype of the Internet came in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paul Baran, an electrical engineer, conceived one of the Internet’s building blocks-packet switching-while working at the Rand Corporation around 1960.
