Dec 3, 2020 · Lawrence Roberts was responsible for developing computer networks at ARPA, working with scientist Leonard Kleinrock. Roberts was the first person to connect two computers. When the first packet-switching network was developed in 1969, Kleinrock successfully used it to send messages to another site, and the ARPA Network—or ARPANET—was born.
Apr 27, 2017 · 2017 CHM Fellow Larry Roberts (1937–2018) is honored for his seminal contributions to the evolution of our connected world. Following his early work in computer graphics and networking he was chief architect of the ARPANET, the US Department of Defense network that was a key building block of the later Internet. He was a champion of the x.25 networking standard, and a principal of the ...
Taylor was greatly impressed by Lawrence Roberts work, and asked him to come on board to lead the effort. Roberts resisted, but finally joined as ARPA IPTO Chief Scientist in December 1966 when Taylor got Hertzfeld to twist the arm of the head of Lincoln Lab to put pressure on Roberts.
In October 1965 Lawrence G. Roberts and Thomas Marill conducted what was later called "the first actual network experiment", tying MIT Lincoln Labs’ TX-2 computer in Lexington, Massachusetts to System Development Corporation's Q32 computer in Santa Monica, California.
