On this day in 1983, the ARPANET network officially switched to using the TCP/IP protocol, effectively creating the Internet.
“January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other.”

@[email protected] I thought the birthday was a date in October 1969…but maybe I was thinking if bare networking, and not TCP/IP proper. 😃
