internet history

Leonard Kleinrock (born in New York City, New York, USA, June 13, 1934, age 77 years) was a U.S. engineer and scientist known as the inventor of the internet or the father of the Internet. A professor of computer science at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Science, he made important contributions to several areas of computer networking, in particular to the theoretical side of computer networking. He is known for his contributions to the world of networking. His most famous and significant is the theory of packet switching through the paper in 1959 and in 1961 on the exchange of packets in relation to the technology package is the forerunner of the internet technology.
On October 29 1969 he created one of the greatest inventions of the modern age before the Internet inadvertently managed to break the digital code and make it as separate packages. Kleinrockpun Leonard is one of the pioneers of digital communications networks, and help build the ARPANET.
Kleinrock was born on June 13, 1934 in New York City, he graduated from the Bronx High School of Science in 1951 and received his Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and Computer science in 1957 from the City College of New York. In 1959 and 1963, he earned a master's degree and a doctorate (Ph.D.) in electrical engineering and computer science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After completing pendidian he then joined the faculty at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), School of Engineering and Applied Science where he worked there as a professor of computer science.
The first ARPANET message was sent by UCLA student programmer Charley Kline, at 10:30 pm, October 29, 1969 from boelter Hall 3420. He was mentored by Kleinrock. Kline transmitted from the university to the Stanford Computer SDS Sigma. Two letters that LO diketikpada keyboard at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and appears on the screen at the Stanford Research Institute, 314 miles away.

In 1988, Kleinrock is head of the National Research Network for the U.S. Congress. This report was very influential and was used to develop the High Performance Computing Act of 1991 that affect the development of the Internet as it is known today. Funding of the bill are used in the development of Mosaic web browser in 1993, at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). Now internet technology present as multifunctional media. Communication via the Internet can be done interpesonal (eg e-mail and chat) or as mass mailing list. Internet is also able to present in real-time audio-visual as in the conventional method with the application teleconference.
He has received many awards. Kleinrock selected to receive the prestigious award of National Science, a national scientific honor, from President George W. Bush at the White House on September 29, 2008. was awarded the 2007 National Medal of Science in contributing to the theory of fundamental mathematics of modern data networks, and for the functional specification of packet switching, which is the basis of next-generation Internet technology mentoring.
