The Spark of a Digital Revolution.. The World Celebrates the Birthday of the Internet

On this day in 1976, the first spark of the internet was ignited when a team of researchers at Stanford successfully sent a test message over the TCP/IP protocol, an event that was considered the symbolic birth of the network that changed the face of the world.

The experiment was conducted using a mobile truck equipped with communication equipment between San Francisco and Monterey, before the protocol was officially adopted on January 1, 1983, as the standard language for connecting networks, paving the way for the birth of the internet in its modern sense.

Today, nearly half a century later, that simple attempt has transformed into a comprehensive global revolution that has redefined the concepts of knowledge, communication, and work, connecting billions of people in a single network without borders.
