The realization of Licklider's vision for the ARPANET as a universal communication network became evident in September 1969 when NWG member [[Leonard Kleinrock]], head of the Network Measurement Center at UCLA and his team, which included [[Vinton Cerf]], [[Steve Crocker]], [[Bill Naylor]], [[Jon Postel]], and [[Mike Wingfield]], connected one of the center's SDS Sigma 7 computers to an IMP. The team from UCLA was able to successfully exchange the message, "Do it to it, Truett" with BBN hardware designer [[Ben Barker]]. On that day, ARPANET/the Internet was born.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm ARPANET-The First Internet]</ref>

The second node connected to the ARPANET was the [[NLS System]] at SRI, which was developed by [[Douglas Engelbart]].<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/w/wi_engelbart.htm Douglas Engelbart]</ref> This was the first full ARPANET network connection using an SDS-940 computer with the Genie Operating System and a 50 ~~kbps~~ line from [[AT&T]]. However, the first test did not work properly and the system crashed. The second test worked fine according to Kleinrock.

However, the first test did not work properly and the system crashed. The second test worked fine according to Kleinrock.

The third connection added to the ARPANET was an IBM 360/75 computer using the OS/MVT operating system from the Culler-Fried Interactive Mathematics Centre at the University of California at Santa Barbara, followed by the DED PDP-q0 computer using a Tenex Operating System from the University of Utah Graphix Department. The first four nodes connected to the ARPANET became operational.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm ARPANET-The First Internet]</ref>
