It was on September 2, 1969 that the world's first Internet connection
was established on the UCLA campus, ushering in a new mode of
communication that today spans the globe and touches the lives of
millions worldwide. The first node of what was then known as the ARPANET
was connected under the direction of Computer Science Professor Leonard
Kleinrock, whose research into "packet switching" provided the
technological foundation upon which the network was built.
To commemorate this historic day Prof. Kleinrock and the UCLA School of
Engineering and Applied Science brought together the "four fathers of
the Internet" and other visionaries to share success stories, discuss
opportunities for entrepreneurs and consider the Internet's profound
potential as a tool for social change.
