"The first two-network TCP/IP transmission was between the [Packet Radio Van] and ARPANET on August 27, 1976; the van was parked next to Rossotti's (since 1956, officially the "Alpine Inn"), a well-known Portola Valley, California biker bar, and wires were run to one of the picnic tables."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_Radio_Van" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_Radio_Van">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_Radio_Van</a><a href="/tags/internet/" rel="tag">#internet</a> <a href="/tags/internethistory/" rel="tag">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="/tags/internetage/" rel="tag">#InternetAge</a> <a href="/tags/packetradiovan/" rel="tag">#PacketRadioVan</a> <a href="/tags/arpanet/" rel="tag">#arpanet</a> <a href="/tags/history/" rel="tag">#history</a> <a href="/tags/onthisday/" rel="tag">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="/tags/otd/" rel="tag">#OTD</a>

BEGINNING OF THE INTERNET AGE

On August 27, 1976, scientists from SRI
International celebrated the successful
completion of tests by sending an electronic
message from a computer set up at a picnic table
behind the Alpine Inn. The message was sent via
a radio network to SRI and on through a second
network, the ARPANET, to Boston. This event
marked the beginning of the Internet Age.

A black commemorative plaque with gold frame, inscribed with gold letters. It reads:

"At 10:30 p.m., 29 October 1969, the first ARPANET message was sent from this UCLA site to the Stanford Research Institute. Based on packet switching and dynamic resource allocation, the sharing of information digitally from this first node of ARPANET launched the Internet revolution."
