In 1964, when the world was brimming with fear of Cold War the American rulers, had a more all-encompassing problem – communication. They realized that the traditional technology of having a centralized system would not work. This fear mandated a need on the government to do something different - to develop a whole new scheme for post-nuclear communication.
The technology, which was developed to communicate during nuclear war, was developed to so much an extent so as to cater even tracking of seismological phenomena, transmit pressing news bulletins, and send email to people. “It is an example of a technology with more uses than anybody ever imagined”. The Internet one uses today provides efficient and inexpensive communications between people around the world.
