LO

 

The world’s first electronic message was sent on October 29, 1969, marking the birth of the Internet.

• Date: October 29, 1969

• Event: The first message sent over the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), the precursor to the modern Internet.

• Sender: Charley Kline, a student programmer at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles).

• Recipient: Bill Duvall at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI).

• Message: The intended word was “LOGIN”, but the system crashed after the first two letters — only “LO” were transmitted successfully.

         So, the first electronic message ever sent over a computer network was simply:

                                                                   “LO”
