DMJM will continue to refine its experimentation with Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the project management technology, through which people in different areas of the world can communicate via the Internet, and monitor construction progress.
