Stephen Crocker and Vinton Cerf were among the graduate students who joined UCLA professor Len Kleinrock in an engineering lab on Sept. 2, 1969, as bits of meaningless test data flowed silently between the two computers. By January, three other "nodes" joined the fledgling network. But I always thought Algore invented the internet in between his busy job as BJ's veep./sarcasm off

Bad headline. The Web is not the same thing as the Internet.

Yada yada yada.
Just keep any gov'ts (the UN wants to tax the Internet too) away from interfering in the conduct or costs of one of the greatest inventions of mankind.

I just sent this article to my son the computer addict. Very interesting. 100 times faster than the broadband we have now. NEAT~

In 1970, I was a junior in high school. I remember coming out of the auditorium and turning the corner and seeing this guy hooking up a telephone, (rotary that is) to some contraption and I asked him what he was doing. He said, "This is a computer and we are hooking up to another computer at the University of Michigan."
I can also remember a world without microwave ovens, air conditioning and pantyhose.

This is all well and good, but I'm still allowed to occasionally post here. |
I'm still not sure if that's progress or regression.

The Web is 14. I read Berners-Lee's original proposal in 1990 and thought to myself, "nahhhhh. That'll never work! People giving all that stuff away for free?"
