Early internet pioneer Jack Haverty has described the early structure of the internet as experimental – and said not much has changed since.
Haverty was a protégé of Professor JCR Licklider in the early ’70s, when he worked on the then brand new ARPANET. He is widely credited with developing File Transfer Protocol, the RFC format still used for internet standards, and one of the world’s first email systems. A contemporary of the likes of Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, Haverty later joined Oracle in the ’90s and worked alongside folks like Tim Berners-Lee, establishing linkages between web servers and databases.
