Leonard Kleinrock has made an extreme contribution to the Internet in that he played a role in creating the ARPANET (the precursor to the Internet). Kleinrock was supervising when the first message was sent on the ARPANET by Charley Kline to Standford Research Institute. The first permanent ARPANET link was established on November 21, 1969. Kleinrock was the chairman of a group that presented the report toward a national research network to the U.S. congress. The report was extremely influential, and that influential idea gave us what we know today, The Internet!
