The Internet Goes Public
This early version of the Internet was not intended for public use. It was used by computer experts, engineers, scientists, and librarians. Libraries used the Internet as a way of automating and networking their catalogs. However, the internet was an extremely complex system, and individuals had to be trained to understand how to use it.
In 1972, an early form of electronic mail was adapted for ARPANET. This early form of electronic mail also used a username and an address to send and receive the messages. Also, in 1972, the telnet protocol which allowed logging on to a remote computer was established. In 1973, another advancement in the evolution of the Internet was developed. File transfers were now available between different Internet sites.
