How the US Military Weaponized the Early Internet - Prof. Jiang Xueqin explained

Описание: The US military played a significant role in developing the early internet, known as ARPANET, in the late 1960s. The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) funded the project to create a robust communication network that could withstand potential disruptions, including nuclear attacks. This initiative aimed to ensure continuous connectivity among key research and military sites, laying the groundwork for what would become the internet.

Key Developments:

*ARPANET's Origins*: Conceived as a decentralized network to survive nuclear attacks, ARPANET utilized packet switching technology, allowing data transmission in small packets.
*First Message*: The first message, "LO," was sent between UCLA and Stanford Research Institute in 1969, marking the beginning of the internet era.
*Expansion and Evolution*: ARPANET expanded to connect universities, research institutions, and government agencies, introducing email, file transfer, and remote login capabilities ¹ ² ³.

The US military's involvement in ARPANET's development was crucial, as it drove innovation and investment in the technology. However, the network's primary purpose was research collaboration and data sharing among scientists, rather than solely military applications ².
