While I was working at the Navy research lab, my brother was also working there, as a research scientist in the civil service. In fact, he had been working there for several years. In his work, he was one of the users of ARPANET, the precursor of the Internet.
ARPA stands for Advanced Research Projects Agency, which later became DARPA, for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
This early system allowed its users to upload and download files from mainframe computers located at various government facilities and universities. It also allowed users to run programs on computers remotely, and it soon allowed email among the users. I never got to use ARPANET. By the time I got online, the Internet had superseded it.
