             Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) Internet was born from a research network called ARPANET i.e. a computer network funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense. On its first day of office in 1969, ARPANET operated across 4 hosts. Each host had a unique address for online communication The online addresses were identified using 8-bit numbers called the Network Control Protocol (NCP). ARPANET was thus, an 8-bit network. By 1981, it had evolved into a national network connecting 213 hosts across universities and research facilities. Soon, all kinds of networks emerged and so did the need to connect these heterogeneous networks into one big inclusive network. The idea was to maintain the heterogeneous nature of each network and also allow users to communicate across networks. To this end, the first half of the 1970s witnessed Robert Khan (DARPA) and Vint Cerf (NCP) work on a Transmission Control Progr...

The company had two separate groups attempting to answer the question at once—the PenLite group, and the Newton group. Picture 1. The Penlite (prototype)   "The project started when a brilliant engineer managed to get MacOS to boot on a 68000-based PDA from Sharp (I believe). It was ridiculous, of course, because you had a minuscule black and white screen a...
