These connections would be the beginning of a true world wide web and would play a large role in setting the standards and expanding internet connectivity on a global scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1980 the world was witnessing the rapid growth of computer networks and new protocols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike Jensen started his project on developing networks for connecting non-profit organizations. His work would ultimately lead to the creation of a network meant for developing nations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: APC<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaap Akkerhuis was the leader of internet development in the Netherlands. He was also one of the important contributors for developing the internet in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Internet Hall of Fame<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Radia Perlman starts working on her Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol design. It would be used for IP routing which is still used today. It\u2019s also used for the Spanning Tree algorithm, a technology that lets Ethernet control larger amounts of data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Wikipedia<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The CSNet (National Science Foundation Computer Science Network) is organized and created by Professor David Farber.

He created multiple gateways from the US and to other European countries. Landweber worked on this project from 1980 to 1989. During this time he also held the \u201cLandweber Conferences\u201d around the world to teach scientists from different countries how to set up their own research, academic, and national networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Internet Hall of Fame<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\nEncouraging Global Connectivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
