Scenarios about 'ARPANET'
The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, developed in the late 1960s as the first operational packet-switching network and precursor to the modern internet. ARPANET was initially funded by the U.S. Department of Defense to connect research institutions, establishing the technical foundations for digital communication protocols that would eventually enable global connectivity. In alternate history scenarios, different developments or timelines of ARPANET could dramatically alter the emergence and nature of the information age.
