The birthday of the internet is January 1, 1983.  This is an important day because it gave computers and computer networks for the first time in history a way to communicate with each other.  Prior to this networks were on closed loops.  On this this day a new internet protocol was also created called TCP/IP.  This stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.<|im_end|>
