On October 29, 2009, UCLA Engineering will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Internet. Forty years ago, a team led by UCLA's Professor Leonard Kleinrock, sent the first message on ARPANET, which later became the Internet.

The Internet has revolutionized communication, education, business and entertainment leading to dramatic changes in our social, political and economic lives.

The event's featured Internet leaders, activists and analysts will offer valuable insights on the opportunities and pitfalls that lie ahead.
