Happy Birthday, Internet!
What is considered a starting point for determining the age of the Internet? In discussing this issue has already been broken enough copies. Someone suggested using the start date of the project, someone date of adoption of TCP / IP, but the first "tangible" a manifestation of the Internet was the launch of the first node ARPANET, connecting California and Stanford University October 29, 1969.
Under the cut little text and lots of pictures.
Keep a log in which the recording was made «talked to SRI, host to host».
The team was able to connect UCLA SDS Sigma 7 SDS 940, located 350 km.
A group of researchers standing around teletype receiving data via ARPANET:

The end view of the first transmitted message to determine the error. When the connection is established research groups kept in touch via phone. When Bill Duvall at UCLA scored «L», he asked his colleagues whether they received «L». The answer was yes. Then he scored "O" and again received confirmation, but an attempt to convey «G» failed. Instead of the planned «login», they managed to pass only «LO».
This event is reflected in the short note newspaper Daily Bruin (student newspaper of the University of California).
