On this day in 1983, the ARPANET network officially switched to using the TCP/IP protocol, effectively creating the Internet.

"January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other."

"The 1983 deadline’s passing was anticlimactic, [Vint Cerf, co-creator of the TCP/IP protocol] recalls, considering how important TCP/IP became as an enabler for the internet."
