他发出的信息改变了世界

1969年10月29日，未来从此刻开始了。就在这一天，UCLA的一个团队在计算机科学系的特聘教授莱昂纳多·克莱洛克带领下在阿帕网络（互联网的前身）上发布了第一条消息。Kleinrock提出了包交换网络（互联网的基础）的数学理论，是创建数字化世界的开创性人物。他到底有多伟大？他是国家科学奖获得者，该奖项是由美国总统颁发的表彰做出突出贡献的科学家的最高奖项。2012年，他成为互联网名人堂中的一员。在UCLA中有一座纪念对互联网诞生起关键作用的人物的博物馆，该博物馆被命名为UCLA克莱洛克互联网历史中心。

Leonard Kleinrock

Distinguished Professor of Computer Science

He sent the mesage that changed everything.

On Oct. 29, 1969, the future began. That was the day that a UCLA team led by distinguished professor of computer science Leonard Kleinrock sent the very first message over the ARPANET, the computer network we now know as the Internet. Kleinrock, who pioneered the mathematical theory of packet networks on which the Internet is based, is a seminal figure in the creation of our digital world. How seminal? He is the recipient of the National Medal of Science, the highest honor for achievement in science bestowed by the President of the United States. In 2012, he was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame. And the on-campus museum that commemorates the university’s pivotal role in the birth of the Internet is called The Kleinrock Internet History Center at UCLA.
