How Does the Internet Work
In the mid 1960s, during the Cold War it became necessary for a bombproof communications system. A concept was devised to link computers together
throughout the country. This connection allowed people to stay connected to
important information even if one part of the community was lost during an attack. This was designed as an emergency military communications system operated by the
Department of Defense. Governments and Universities were the only ones linked in the beginning
