| The internet was opened to research centers in the U.S. in the late 1960's as a method of connecting military computers. Before that time, vital information had been stored in one large computer. |

| Depending on one computer meant that the destruction of that computer in a war would mean the loss of all the vital information it contained. |
|
| This network was called ARPNET, and it became the 'mother' of the internet. |
