International Internet Day was celebrated globally on 29 October 2014, on the occasion of the anniversary of the first use of Internet for sending electronic messages in the year 1969.
International Internet Day is celebrated worldwide on 29 October every year. From the year 2005, International Internet Day was celebrated to commemorate the important day in the history of telecommunications and technology.
The Internet started in 1969 when a computer network was designed for the military in the US to exchange information in the event of a nuclear war. The Internet was known as ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). Charlie Cline sent an electronic message for the first time on 29 October 1969.
Charlie Cline, working under the supervision of Professor Leonard Cleanrock, sent a message. The message was sent by the US Department of Defense, networking UCLA and Stanford Research Institute computers. However, due to the initial transmission, the system collapsed and the transmission crashed. Thus, International Internet Day is associated with the idea of expression which is celebrated with democratic enthusiasm. Through this, everyone can get the same benefits of this facility, which connects people in the world to each other.
