On this day in 1969, the first complete message was sent successfully over ARPANET, the precursor to the modern internet. The team of engineers at UCLA, led by Professor Leonard Kleinrock and featuring young graduate student Vint Cerf, achieved this milestone after a failed attempt. The message was sent by student programmer Charley Kline from Leonard Kleinrock's UCLA computer to the second node at Stanford Research Institute's computer in Menlo Park, California. In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee first described the HTML mark-up language in a message to the WWW-talk mailing list. CERN, where Berners-Lee worked, put the World Wide Web software in the public domain in April 1993.
