Learn about the invention of The Internet with iMinds insightful
knowledge series. The story of the Internet begins in the early 1960s,

Afraid of the technological potential of the Russians, the United States
Department of Defense formed the Advanced Research Projects Agency
(ARPA), in order to develop US science and technology, and in particular
its application in the military. In order to share information between
