More Information: "The Internet may fairly be regarded as a never-ending worldwide conversation." - supreme judge statement on considering First Amendment rights for Internet users.

On a cold war kind of day, in swinging 1969, work began on the ARPAnet, grandfather to the Internet. Designed as a computer version of the nuclear bomb shelter, ARPAnet protected the flow of information between military installations by creating a network of geographically separated computers that could exchange information via a newly developed protocol (rule for how computers interact) called NCP (Network Control Protocol).

One opposing view to ARPAnet's origins comes from http://wiki.answers.com/../inventors/bl_Charles_Herzfeld.htm, the former director of ARPA. He claimed that ARPAnet was not created as a result of a military need, stating "it came out of our frustration that there were only a limited number of large, powerful research computers in the country and that many research investigators who should have access were geographically separated from them." http://wiki.answers.com/../inventors/blARPA-DARPA.htmstands for the Advanced Research Projects Agency, a branch of the military that developed top secret systems and weapons during the Cold War.
