The 10 biggest moments in IT history

“2: The development of the ARPANET (1969)
It is an undeniable fact that the ARPANET was the predecessor of
the modern Internet. The ARPANET began in a series of memos,
written by J.C. R. Licklider and initially referred to as the
“Intergalactic Computer Network.” Without the
development of the ARPANET, the landscape of IT would be
drastically different.

“3: The creation of UNIX (1970)
Although many would argue that Windows is the most important
operating system ever created, UNIX should hold that title. UNIX
started as a project between MIT and AT&T Bell Labs. The
biggest initial difference (and most important distinction) was
that it was the first operating system to allow more than one user
to log in at a time. Thus was born the multi-user environment.
Note: 1970 marks the date the name “UNIX” was
applied.
