On this day in 1983, the ARPANET network officially switched to using the TCP/IP protocol, effectively creating the Internet.

"January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other."

@[email protected] When I was an operator on a node on the ARPAnet in 1976, I didn't realize it wasn't the Internet yet. All I knew is I could login to MIT ITS machines from my IMP in Marina Del Rey.
