1844
bullet::::- at 10:30 in the evening at the university of california, los angeles (ucla) campus, the first message was sent over arpanet, the forerunner of the internet. leonard kleinrock would recall later that the first message, transmitted from ucla to the computer at the stanford research institute (sri) was intended to be transmitting the letters "l-o-g", after which stanford would add two more letters to send back the word "login". charley kline, a 21-year old ucla student, was asked by kleinrock to help send a message on the department's sds sigma 7 computer to a sigma 7 at sri. the ucla team sent the "l", then asked over the telephone whether it had been received, then sent the "o". before ucla could transmit the letter "g", the sri computer crashed and, as kleinrock would note later, "history now records how clever we were to send such a prophetic first message, namely 'lo'".

a telegraph message sent by an electrical telegraph operator or telegrapher using morse code (or a printing telegraph operator using plain text) was known as a "telegram". a "cablegram" was a message sent by a submarine telegraph cable, often shortened to a "cable" or a "wire". later, a "telex" was a message sent by a telex network, a switched network of teleprinters similar to a telephone network.
