1 janv. 1983 - Start of the internet, Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn's TCP/IP protocol adopted

Description:

- The TCP/IP protocols specify how data is packaged and transmitted over the Internet from device to device; without the invention of the TCP/IP protocol suite, data communication over the Internet and networking between devices would not be possible

- TCP/IP was first adopted by the United States government, which ensured that the TCP/IP protocol was non-proprietary and not owned by a single private company; thus, today the TCP/IP protocol can run on almost any operating system and device, and is compatible with all types of hardware and networks

- TCP/IP emphasized accuracy when sending data over the Internet, breaking up data into smaller packets to reduce failure in the system, setting the foundation for today's modern Internet with accurate and fast transmissions
