On October 29, 1969, Leonard Kleinrock’s research team at UCLA transmitted a message from a computer to another one located at Douglas Engelbart’s Stanford University research lab. That transmission was the first to send a message via ARPANET using packets, just like messages are sent via today’s Internet.
