network that
(1) allowed scientists at different physical
locations to share information and work together
on military and scientific projects
(2) Could function even if part of the network were
disabled or destroyed by a disaster such as a nuclear
attack.
That network, called ARPANET, became functional
in September 1969, linking scientific and academic
researchers across the United States.

INTERNET
INTERNET2-:
Founded in 1996, the goal of
Internet2 is to develop and test advanced
network technologies that will benefit Internet
users in the short-term future.
These technologies require an extremely highspeed network that exceeds the capabilities
of todays Internet and networks.
Examples of previous Internet2 projects that
are now mainstream include telemedicine,
digital libraries (online books , magazines,
music, movies, speeches, etc.), and faster
