Today in Tech On July 3rd in 1969 UCLA issued a press release announcing that it would be the first station in a nationwide computer network that would, for the first time, link computers of different makes and use different machine languages in one time-sharing system. This essentially announced the birth of the Internet, originally known as ARPANET, which officially took place some months later that year. The original press release went on to correctly predict that "Creation of the network represents a major forward step in computer technology and may serve as the forerunner of large computer networks of the future." Then UCLA project head and engineering professor Leonard Kleinrock also made a prediction that has come to fruition: "As of now, computer networks are still in their infancy. But as they grow up and become more sophisticated, we will probably see the spread of 'computer utilities', which, like present electronic and telephone utilities, will service individual homes and offices across the country."
