A British man named Donald Davies independently devised a very similar system, but he called the message blocks “packets,” a term that was eventually adopted instead of Baran's message blocks. This method of “packet switching” is a rapid store-and-forward design.

RAND(Research and Development) Corporation, founded in 1946 and based in Santa Monica, California, is to this day a non-profit institution that provides research and analysis in a wide range of fields with the aim of helping the development of public policies and improving decision-making processes. During the Cold War era, RAND researchers produce...
Nevertheless, Baran’s speedy store-and-forward distributed network was highly-efficient and required very little storage at node level; the entire system had an estimated costof $60 million to support 400 switching nodes and in turn service l00,000 users. And though RAND believed in the project, it failed to find the partners with whom to build it....
It was only in 1969, at UCLA (not that far from Santa Monica where Baran worked), that the first cornerstone of the Internet was finally laid, and the ARPANET, the first computer network was built. Paradoxically, what had began a decade earlier as a military answer to a Cold War threat (the Sputnik), turned a completely different kind of network. I...

Paul Baran (born Pesach Baran / ˈ b æ r ən /; April 29, 1926 – March 26, 2011) was an American-Jewish engineer who was a pioneer in the development of computer networks.He was one of the two independent inventors of packet switching, which is today the dominant basis for data communications in computer networks worldwide, and went on to start several companies and develop other ...
Paul Baran, working at the Rand Corporation in the US, had been working on a communications system for the US military that transmitted data via a network with multiple nodes. He also suggested splitting the data in the smaller units, which he called ‘message blocks’.
Dec 1, 2020 · Both Baran and Sweezy thought that the feudalistic economy was somewhat static and stationary, as well as that, because of wasteful and unproductive activities, any economic surplus generated by such an economy would be small in comparison to that generated by capitalism, which is a more dynamic system with higher levels of productivity and reinvestment of at least part of the economic surplus.

Baran made a proposal, which was accepted, and he began by studying the survivability of the AT&T telephone network – the communication system the Air Force depended on. He concluded it was a disaster: a few well-placed bombs could disrupt communications throughout the country.
