===ARPANET===

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was a branch of the United State's military and earliest iteration of the Internet. It used a packet-switching method to transmit information between various 'nodes' across the country. It was the first network to use [[TCP/IP]], developed by [[Vint Cerf]] and [[Robert Kahn]].
