The Internet was originally developed by DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, as a means to share information on defense research between involved universities and defense research facilities. Originally it was just email and FTP sites as well as the Usenet where scientists could question and answer each other. It was originally called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency NETwork). The concept was developed starting in 1964, and the first messages passed were between UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute in 1969. Leonard Kleinrock of MIT had published the first paper on packet switching theory in 1961. Since networking computers was new to begin with, standards were being developed on the fly. Once the concept was proven, the organizations involved started to lay out some ground rules for standardization. One of the most important was the communications protocol, TCP/IP, developed by Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn in 1974. In the 1980's, the Internet started getting released for commercial use. Did you know? The first internet award program was Award Sites!  In 1997 from being the first web / Internet award rating service to a mother of independent niche sites that all had their start as a feature within AS!  And while its reaching goes well beyond its role as the premiere rating service . . . it has never lost its focus on "Bettering The Net By Striving For Excellence".  We are proud to belong to Award Sites and the other very fine rating programs which we belong.              Upon a visit to New Mexico I got 'detoured'. It was one of the most undescrible experinces of my lifetime. It led me to a small Chapel in Santa Fe. Here was a place that I sat and the very room was filled with the spirit of God.  The Loretto Chapel.  Sometimes in life a detour makes a difference. I just sat in awe.......a detour that lifted me up. So sometimes a small detour can change your life. DETOUR AHEAD Again let us remind you that there are many pages which all lead you to our application. They help you to better understand what the "real difference" is. In life we must take detours and sometimes those detours open our eyes to new and exciting things. Our detours are by choice. What to read more including a picture about The Loretta chapel?  Click here               de tour n. 1.
