The image above is the very first message transmitted through ARPANET in 1969, the predecessor to the internet.  ARPANET was created by DARPA of the United States Department of Defense as a line of communication that can survive a bombing attack.

The ARPANET is important because it made the Internet what it is today, an invaluable tool that makes communications worldwide easier, faster and more efficient.
