This method would allow the Department of Defense of the United States linking computer databases scattered throughout the country through a decentralized system and robust (even partially destroyed) to natural disasters and nuclear attack or sabotage enemy.
on this principle the University of California in 1969 installed the first components of a computer network called Arpanet.

For two decades, until the 80's, as the Internet become more sophisticated, William speculated on possible migration to digital universe. Rather than sail them eager to dive into the data stream that entered the planetary system.

Wad William Walpole was clear something overlooked by many people.
Internet and World Wide Web are different concepts.
Internet encompasses both the WWW as hardware (the hardware: computers, servers, routers, connections) and also programs and non-WWW protocols but compatible with it. It also involves various methods of linking computers, such as Telnet, FTP or Gopher.
The WWW (or more commonly 'Web') is, however, an electronic network of information resources located in the memory of computers spread around the planet on which a user navigates using links between documents. William
conceived the Internet as a global computer and the WWW as its operating system giant.
