Advanced Research Projects Agency Network

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was an early computer network developed in the 1960s and 1970s, funded by the U.S. government. It aimed to connect researchers and institutions to share information and resources efficiently. Using packet switching technology, ARPANET laid the foundation for modern the internet, enabling computers to communicate across different locations reliably. It marked the beginning of a new era of digital connectivity, transforming how we share data and collaborate worldwide.
