The Internet celebrated its 20th anniversary on New
Year's Day!
In 1983, the Department of Defense's Advanced
Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) officially
switched from the Network Control Program (NCP)
protocol to Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP). Six months later, ARPANET was split
into two subnetworks--ARPANET, which would continue
to serve researchers and eventually be renamed as the
Internet, and MILNET, a network the military used to
share unclassified information.
