Internet is 35 years old today
 

Thirty-five years ago today computer scientists at UCLA linked two bulky computers using a 15-foot gray cable.....

I wonder if Al Gore was there.

i found this interesting in the article that you are probably referencing:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/interne....ap/index.html


The Internet's bandwidth can carry only "lousy" video and "can't compete with looking out the window," Ballard said. But with Internet2, "high-definition zoom cameras can show them the eyelids."

Internet2, with speeds 100 times the typical broadband service at home, is now limited to selected universities, companies and institutions, but researchers expect any breakthroughs to ultimately migrate to the main Internet.

While Internet2 and LambdaRail seek to move data faster and faster, researchers with the World Wide Web Consortium are trying to make information smarter and smarter. Semantic Web is a next-generation Web designed to make more kinds of data easier for computers to locate and process.

i like internet pron:thumbsup

internet2 ... what a stupid idea . Not like one day everybody will switch from a network to another ...

The next 35 years will be unbelievable!!! :thumbsup

Indeed, the Internet is the best invention. Aside from food, it provides everything you need to live:

-Money
-Sexual pleasure
-Entertainment (be it from music, to surfing, surfing to movies)
-Unlimited info/ Knowledge


Internet is god, Happy Birthday buddy! :glugglug :glugglug

happy b-day!

Happy birthday:glugglug

Order a pizza online. Internet provides everything. Basically I wouldn't be forced to leave home if I didn't want to. I could use a visa I got from the internet to pay for my shopping I order from the internet. lol.

Yea I remember the good ol' times with the 2400baud modems :thumbsup :winkwink: and BBS porn

well, congrats to the Inet and all its users:)

GR8 :)

I though the internet was invented in like 1993-94 somewhere there. Where ISPs came out

Happy B-day internet! :thumbsup :thumbsup :1orglaugh

Do you even know what internet2 is? It's not for "everybody" nimrod and it's 100 faster that what you've got. I guess you think IPv6 is stupid too?

Damn, I missed it, it was a reason to eat some cake. :(

To Internet! One of my best buddies!:thumbsup
It's sad when you think about it...




Happy B-day!

thats bullshit that al gore created the internet, he didnt creat shit

All thanks to Al Gore!

LOL

I wonder if they had even the slightest inkling of what they were unleashing?

its scary to think that such little progress was made in the first 20 or so years of the internet - dont get me wrong, its amazing what they did w/ arpanet, but since the early 90's when the internet was released for public use, its grown so much that EVERYONE and everything has a website and its a way of life

without internet i would be nobody

Al gore did not create the internet. and what is more interesting is he never claimed to have created it. Right wing propoganda is very strong.

He did author the congressional bill to fund it.

:thumbsup

let's get drunk :glugglug

Oh boy..... It wasn't until the early 1990's when the general public had access to the Internet. I remember the early days on Compuserve - what a drag that was. We've come a long way baby!

:thumbsup

Happy bday internet! :thumbsup

Screw you Internet. You've ruined my life. My wife thinks you suck. My kids are pissed at me. God damned you Internet!
