50 years ago today, the Internet was born. Sort of. I think that says it all.
On October 29, 1969, at 10:30pm Pacific Time, the first two letters were transmitted over ARPANET. And then it crashed. About an hour later, after some debugging, the first actual remote connection between two computers was established over what would someday evolve into the modern Internet.
Funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (the predecessor of DARPA), ARPANET was built to explore technologies related to building a military command and control network that could survive a nuclear attack
Al ManBearPig Gore did this…..And then invented the GloBull Warming hoax….Busy he was…
