Paul Baran Internet foundation father dies at 84

Paul Baran considered most importance figure when it comes to the Interne, who helped build the foundation for the modern Internet by devising a way to transmit information in chunks, has died and was 84 year old in his Pal Alto, California, USA.

The Internet could not be so much advanced if not Mr. Paul Baran and he became one of the pioneers behind "packet switching," which helps a communications network withstand an attack by bundling and dispatching data in small packages, while working on Cold War military research for the Rand Corp. in Santa Monica in the 1960s. The Department of Defense used that concept in 1969 to create the Arpanet, which laid the foundation for the modern Internet and it is so used widely today.

Rest in peace Mr. Baran and we should all remember the history and legacy of yours forever.. Thank you for your involvement which helped change the world communications today.
