Great inventions are rarely recognized when they emerge, and perhaps it is not surprising that the first Congressional acknowledgment of ARPANET came 11 years after it ended. This exhibit presents a complete list of these acknowledgments with brief explanations and excerpts but without comment.

<blockquote>
<p>Networking and information technology, that technology that is vital
but obviously sometimes drives us all crazy, sometimes outright batty,
but it plays a critical role in our everyday lives, often in ways we do
not even realize. Federal R&D investment in NIT has produced such
computer breakthroughs as ARPAnet, the forerunner of the modern
Internet, communications protocols to transmit data over networks,
supercomputing, the Web browser, and the computer mouse, just to name a
few. Multidisciplinary innovations include the decoding of the human
genome, modeling and simulation of complex physical systems for
aircraft, automobiles, power grids and pharmaceuticals, near real-time
weather forecasting and climate models, and unmanned aerial vehicles
and search and rescue robots.</p>
