Is that documented, or just a conclusion a lot of people have come to. I mean, facebook as originally a DARPA project called lifelog. I'm sure there are tons of other examples too.

Yes, what we now consider 'the internet' was actually founded by ARPA(what probably became DARPA, i'd have to look further into it) I'm pretty sure it was started as a way to respond to attacks. Nuclear missile locations needed a way to communicate with one another
