Computer networking as we know it today may be said to have gotten its start with the Arpanet
development in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Prior to that time there were computer vendor
“networks” designed primarily to connect terminals and remote job entry stations to a
mainframe. But the notion of networking between computers viewing each other as equal
peers to achieve “resource sharing” was fundamental to the Arpanet design.
