    Research in the late 1960s and 1970s led to the development of early packet switched networks like ARPANET and X.25 that allowed communication within connected networks. This research helped define the Internet Protocol Suite which standardized protocols for internetworking and connecting multiple different networks into a global super-framework, forming the idea of a worldwide Internet. Adoption of these standardized protocols in 1982 allowed the Internet to spread rapidly across advanced telecommunication networks in the western world and later globally, though a digital divide remains between advanced and developing nations.

    Commemorative plaque listing some of the early Internet pioneers


    Before the wide spread of internetworking (802.1) that led to the
    Internet, most communication networks were limited by their nature
    to only allow communications within the stations on the local
    network and the prevalent computer networking method was based
    on the central mainframe computer model. Several research
    programs began to explore and articulate principles of networking
    between physically separate networks, leading to the development
    of the packet switching model of digital networking. These research
    efforts included those of the laboratories of Donald Davies (NPL),
    Paul Baran (RAND Corporation), and Leonard Kleinrock at MIT and at
    UCLA. The research led to the development of several packet-
    switched networking solutions in the late 1960s and 1970s,
    including ARPANET and the X.25 protocols. Additionally, public
    access and hobbyist networking systems grew in popularity,
    including unix-to-unix copy (UUCP) and FidoNet. They were however
    still disjointed separate networks, served only by limited gateways
    between networks. This led to the application of packet switching to
    develop a protocol for internetworking, where multiple different
    networks could be joined together into a super-framework of
    networks. By defining a simple common network system, the
    Internet Protocol Suite, the concept of the network could be
    separated from its physical implementation. This spread of
    internetworking began to form into the idea of a global network that
    would be called the Internet, based on standardized protocols
    officially implemented in 1982. Adoption and interconnection
    occurred quickly across the advanced telecommunication networks
    of the western world, and then began to penetrate into the rest of
    the world as it became the de-facto international standard for the
    global network. However, the disparity of growth between advanced
    nations and the third-world countries led to a digital divide that is
    still a concern today.
    Following commercialization and introduction of privately run
    Internet service providers in the 1980s, and the Internet's expansion
    for popular use in the 1990s, the Internet has had a drastic impact
    on culture and commerce. This includes the rise of near instant
    communication by electronic mail (e-mail), text based discussion
    forums, and the World Wide Web. Investor speculation in new
    markets provided by these innovations would also lead to the
    inflation and subsequent collapse of the Dot-com bubble. But
    despite this, the Internet continues to grow, driven by commerce,
    greater amounts of online information and knowledge and social
    networking known as Web 2.0.
