Intergalactic Computer Network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intergalactic Computer Network can be said to be the first conception of what would eventually become the Internet. The Internet Society has used a short form Galactic Network for the same thing.[1] J.C.R. Licklider used the term at ARPA in 1963, addressing his colleagues as "Members and Affiliates of the Intergalactic Computer Network".[2]
