The History
1957 The Cold War!
In 1957, at the heights of the Cold War, the Soviet Union scored one against the United States when it successfully put in place the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik I. To up the ante with the Soviets, the US Department of Defense set up a division dedicated to extreme technology research, ARPA (Advanced Research Project Agency), which later fashioned ARPANET. For the first time in history, computers were able to exchange information electronically. From 1957 to till today the Internet is growing more and more..!
