Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The development of ALOHAnet, a wireless data communication system, was done by Norman Abramson in the late 1960s. It used a random access protocol which became the basis for Ethernet, a local area network (LAN) protocol, developed by Robert Metcalfe and his colleagues at Xerox PARC in the 1970s. Ethernet further refined the random access protocol, making it more efficient and reliable for LANs. Therefore, the development of ALOHAnet set the stage for Ethernet.
