Advanced Research Projects Agency, or a.k.a ARPANET, was created in the late 1960. This was the country's first wide area, packet-switched networks. This network was only used by select universities, military bases, and government labs for services such as the file transfer protocol, electronic email, and remote login. Later, the network was divided into two separate networks. The ARPANET and MILNET. MILNET was used only by military personnel. NSFNET replaced ARPANET later on.
