Update The NET Framework.....
The Internet, probably the thing we use most now days when on the computer. Sometimes it changes, and it doesn't really phase us too much, but did you ever wonder how it started? It began with a network, when computers could be linked to each other directly, but in 1962 J.C.R Licklider wanted to take it further, he proposed the development of a global network with all the world's computers connected. In time he moved to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, because the military and scientific fields saw its great potential. This was the birth of the idea, however this didn't become a reality for some time, though networking was possible, it was soon realized that in order to access a computer on this interwoven network, would require a lot of information, time, and hardware, the theory of packet switching was developed by Leonard Kleinrock (MIT, UCLA), after experiments led to connecting a computer in Massachusets to a computer in California, the size of the hardware requirements was made clear, and it was confirmed that the dial up telephone system wasn't enough. Although the internet was born around these times, it wasn't called the internet, instead it was known as ARPANET
