Dr. Leonard Kleinrock's place in Internet history
Dr. Leonard Kleinrock, a professor of computer science at the
University of California, Los Angeles, since 1963 and chairman of that department from 1991 to 1995:
"created the basic principles of packet switching, the technology underpinning the Internet, while a graduate student at
MIT. This was a decade before the birth of the Internet which occurred when his host computer at UCLA became the first node of the Internet in September 1969. He wrote the first paper and published the first book on the subject; he also directed the transmission of the first message [
"log"] to pass over the Internet."

Through the wonders of re-formatting you can now view a segment of a
VHS recording of an interview conducted by this reporter for
The Technology Channel on Tuesday, March 25, 1997, in Professor Kleinrock's UCLA office.
A longer version of this interview ran on Century Cable Television in Santa Monica's Channel 3 at 12:30 pm, on Monday, April 21, 1997. This recording was later converted to a RealVideo file, then to an .avi file, and, finally, just recently, to a .wmv (Windows Media Video) file.
You can watch a one-minute clip of part of the March 25, 1997, interview with Professor Kleinrock, and listen to him talk about some of the uses to which he was then putting the invention he played an important part in creating, by clicking
