The internet is #1, baby! @wsj readers voted the internet as the most impactful U.S. innovation. Our lab, from where the first message over the internet was sent, was included in the article:
"The digital age began with a stutter in 1969, when an attempt to transmit the word “LOGIN” between @ucla and Stanford crashed after two letters [this happened in our lab!]. That partial “LO” became the first breath of Arpanet...Today, the internet is the indispensable infrastructure of the 21st century, facilitating nearly every economic and social interaction." 👏
Congratulations to Prof. Leonard Kleinrock for being named one of @forbes top innovators!
Prof. Kleinrock is ranked #60 among a list of 250 innovators for developing the mathematical "packet-switching" underpinning of the internet. Link in bio.
UCLA professor Leonard Kleinrock directed the team that invented the Internet. He’s been at the forefront of computer science for the last 60 years and has a front row seat to the AI revolution. Does he think it’s gone too far? Full episode Link in Bio @iamwithevanlovett@uclaconnectionlab #inaminutewithevanlovett #UCLA #Internet #LosAngeles.
Thank you to all the retirees who visited us at 3420 Boelter! It was a pleasure showing you the lab from where the first internet message was sent! #ucla #gobruins
Is the origin of the internet @ucla LA’s best-kept secret? Prof. Kleinrock gave a tour to the @pbssocal team today at 3420 Boelter where the internet started. 🔥🔥🔥”Lost LA” segment coming next year! 👀📺
Prof. Kleinrock welcomed UCLA Communications professor Tim Groeling’s Comms 151 class for a tour of 3420 Boelter, the birthplace of the Internet. The students are researching how computer technology, particularly the Internet, has influenced patterns of human communication.

This is where the very first message was sent over the Internet on Oct. 29, 1969, by Prof. Kleinrock’s team to Stanford Research Institute. #internet #innovation
Caught in the wild! We spotted Prof. Len Kleinrock discussing cool tech stuff with his Internet Research Initiative mentee, Henry Chang. #caughtinthewild #internet
