Hobbes' Internet Timeline 10.1

Hobbes' Internet Timeline is a detailed, year-by-year chronology of the Internet's development compiled by Robert H. Zakon, tracing events from the 1957 launch of Sputnik and the creation of ARPA through the ARPANET's founding nodes, protocols, and key milestones into the 2010s. The site documents technical developments (packet switching, the first RFCs, the first ARPANET nodes and email) alongside organizational and growth milestones, with sources and notes cited throughout. It functions as a long-running, individually maintained reference work rather than an institutional archive.
