Fifty years ago, on October 29, 1969, the world celebrated the sending of the first host-to-host message between two US laboratories, marking the 50th anniversary yesterday of what is known as the birth of the Internet.

The Internet was first connected by a computer made by the American company "Next", and entered the history device, and is currently displayed at the Science Museum in California.

The first letter was sent from researchers at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and passed on between laboratories at the University of California at Los Angeles and the Stanford Research Institute.

"The Internet and the Web that have saved the lives of billions of people have changed for the better, but their power for good is under threat," said Tim Berners-Lee, founder and inventor of the World Wide Web. "This anniversary should be the moment when we fight for the network we want." ".

In a statement posted on the founding Web site, Berners-Lee called for a new contract that brings governments, businesses and citizen groups together to come up with a clear action plan to protect the Internet as a force for good.

The first online message is a stumbling start

On October 29, 1969, at 9 pm, the first Internet message was sent, and this task was carried out by a student programmer named Charlie Klein, through the network "Arpanet", which is the introduction of modern Internet, and was supposed to carry the following phrase: "login" Sign in to a computer at the Stanford Research Institute, but the computer was malfunctioning and the system was down to send only the letters "l and o", making the first message sent on the Internet "lo", and about an hour later, after the problem was resolved To fix the crash, the full text of the login was successfully sent.

First email and first webpage

Two years later, in 1971, the first email was sent by MIT researcher Ray Tomlinson, and it was also the first time that the "@" sign was used to assign a specific recipient to a message.

The World Wide Web, as we now know it, was not invented until 1989, when British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web and the technologies needed to access, create and share web pages, and published the first web page in 1991.

Internet for everyone

Internet access was made available to the public for the first time in the world on August 6, 1991, but the idea was first haunted by British physicist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. It was successfully tested in 1990, making it 28 years since the Internet was launched around the world. For everyone's uses.

The network employs nearly four billion people worldwide.
