who invented concept of the intergalactic computer network
Ivan Sutherland uses the TX-2 to write Sketchpad, the origin of graphical programs for computer-aided design. J.C.R. Licklider writes memos about his Intergalactic Network concept, where everyone on the globe is interconnected and can access programs and data at any site from anywhere. He is talking to his own âIntergalactic Networkâ of researchers across the country. In October, âLickâ becomes the first head of the computer research program at ARPA, which he calls the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO).
