The Internet was conceived in 1969 by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government and was first known as the ‘ARPANet’. The original aim was to create a network that would allow users of a research computer at one university to "talk to" research computers at other universities. A side benefit of ARPANet's design was that, because messages could be routed or rerouted in more than one direction, the network could continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a military attack or other disaster.
