Marshall McLuhan made the idea of a global village interconnected by an electronic
nervous system part of our popular culture. Wiener's vision of cybernetics had a
powerful influence on later generations of scientists, and inspired research into the potential to extend human
capabilities. The IPTO funded the research that led to the development of the ARPANET. ARPA also funded some of the
early networking research done by Lawrence Roberts, who later became the ARPANET Program Manager. NCP standardized
the ARPANET network interface, making it easier to establish, and enabling more and more DARPA sites to join the
network. Two of McLuhan's best known books are The Gutenberg Galaxy, published in 1962, and Understanding Media,
published in 1964. As the ARPANET grew in the early 1970's, Kleinrock's group
stressed the system to work out the detailed design and performance issues involved with the world's first packet
switched network. In December, 1968, DARPA awarded a contract for development of the
IMP to the consulting company Bolt Beranek and Newman. In 1984, the US Department of
Defense made TCP/IP the standard for all military computer networking, which gave it a high profile and stable
funding. The MMDF software was extremely difficult to install, and needed to be
scaled to support a wide range of new sites. While 56 kbps sounds awfully slow
compared to today's Internet, the load on the early NSFNET was correspondingly less as well. Several countries then leveraged EUnet, incorporated in Ireland, to spread the Internet across
the continent. As part of this effort, he developed a computer system called NLS (oN-Line System), to
cross-reference research papers for sharing among geographically distributed
researchers.
