Abstract: Abstract If we were to be faithful to history, the Soviet Union should receive credit for the invention of the Internet. The U.S. Defense Department respouded to Pfesident Eisenhower’s concern over the surprisingly early launch of Sputnik in 1957 by founding the Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) in 1958. Their intent was to push American researchers to catch up with and ultimately surpass their Soviet counterparts. And, while the Americans were not as far behind as they had feared, ARPA was successful in moving them sorwarde In eighteen months, ARPA’s scientists had collaborated to develop the first successful U.S. satellite. About six years later, under the direction of Dr J.C.R. Licklider, ARPA1 turned its attentian to the U.S. military’s use of computers and networks.
