As someone in the business, I can assure you that success stories like MS, Apple and Facebook really do have humble origins. It is true that the Internet began in the 1960s as a military project; the purpose was to create a communications network that would continue to function after multiple nuclear strikes. But the subsequent growth of the ‘net was due to the military opening the network to outsiders, first to universities and then to commercial interests. The web that we know today was only possible becayse of the thousands of private interests who sought to capitalize on its potential.
