Although the origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States government in the 1960’s, the date April 7th in 1969 is declared as the date of birth of the Internet. The United States government had started first research efforts in the 1960’s to build “robust and fault-tolerant communication via computer networks“. And as a result, first Request For Comment (RFC) documents were published on April 7, 1969. Hence this specific date April 7, 1969, is regarded as the date when Internet was born......and our world was never the same again afterwards!
