laboratories in the U.S. (Internet, 2006). The World Wide Web was invented much later: it was "developed in 1989 by English computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee for the European Organization for
Nuclear Research (CERN)" (Internet, 2006). CERN has since gone on to win fame as one of the settings for Dan Browns novel Angels and Demons (Brown is the author of

November 1977 linking SATNET, PRNET and ARPANET in a path leading from Menlo Park, CA to University College London and back to USC/ISI in Marina del Rey, CA" (Internet, 2006).
Once the technology was proven to work, the Net was up and running. History of the Internet The history of the Internet is closely linked with the Defense Advanced Research
