Happy birthday, Internet

bobsilber · 09-07-2009, 10:14 PM

Arpanet, the first World Wide Web incarnation, began quietly in September 1969 at UCLA

Happy birthday, Internet -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

Of course, commercialization of the Net came much later with the introduction of the graphical browser.

Interesting factoid: The first clickable web ad (which later came to be known by the term "banner ad") was sold by Global Network Navigator (GNN) in 1993 to Heller, Ehrman, White and McAuliffe, a now defunct law firm with a Silicon Valley office. GNN was the first commercially supported web publication and one of the very first web sites ever.

And in 1987 I was doing the research for US West's business cases for the ISDN and X Windows.

Wow - time flies when you are in cyberspace.

Happy Birthday, Internet!

LegitBlogger · 09-08-2009, 12:53 AM

Indeed... how time flies. I always wonder how life would
have been without the Internet. Blessings to those good
folks that made it possible!

Life without internet? equals 'disasterous'.

rapidscc · 09-08-2009, 01:55 AM

Who knew that after 40 years the internet would not only be a way to connect people but also become one of the hottest marketplace in the world. Almost all big offline businesses are tapping the internet for commercial purposes. Recently even big car manufacturer GM launched an eBay site..

Happy Birthday Internet!

All Success!

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your kind heads up. The referred article is full with interesting stuff about the Internet.

Happy 40th birthday."

I think, the future is unpredictable if we add our own to it.

Yep. Stuff most people woould never think about, but should.

It's knowing the history that lets us understand the culture. And JD comes from the original online culture. A lot of that is shaped by the technology, and still pushes back against the new stuff, even among newer netizens.

Paul,

Agreed. Very interesting, where the Internet started from and where is currently. And how many great men added his own idea to it while Internet became like this. Thanks for them.

I know, the Internet is making fun sometimes or annoying us sometimes. Nevertheless, without the Internet our life would be poorer. It is a device for gaining knowledge, it helps to become acquintanted with the other countries, cultures, humans. I feel if nations know each other a bit better then many problems can be solved beetwen them.

And naturally it is a device to build online or offline business. Without the Internet we couldn't enjoy the WF community, too.

Not THAT old. 8-( MY first connection was acoustic! I'll never forget in highschool, I would hook up, a guy would come in with a milk carton, put it quietly on the floor, step back, and POUND his foot onto the milk carton. The noise startled everyone, and sometimes caused the connection to break.

And before that was 110! Happily, the first modem I actually BOUGHT could do 300. EVENTUALLY, I got a 1200(212, NOT 202, YEAH)! Then a FULL 2400, 9600, 19.2K, "56K", and then finally a cable modem. I have almost as many modems as I do computers! 8-(

davidomni · 09-08-2009, 04:16 PM

I also remember being addicted to chat rooms! lol

I vaguely remember doing an illustration for an article on Arpanet for a computer magazine sometime in the late 70's -thought "that was interesting...yawn..." took me a while to wake up and smell that coffee!

UtopianDreams · 09-08-2009, 04:53 PM

YEAH, I STILL remember 300 baud. The top speed was approx 30cps. That means a FULL page of text took about 64 seconds! I was HAPPY when I got my 1200(212). IT could do things a bit more than 4 times as fast, about 15 seconds.

The internet was described, called the internet, and actually running in 1974! Of course, wikipedia lists its birth(as a WORKING network) as October 29, 1969.

So NOPE folks! Al gore didn't do ANYTHING! The only thing he could MAYBE lay claim to is opening it up to the general public, through law.

Michael Mayo · 09-09-2009, 10:31 AM

Lol...

I think I still have my 3 TI99-4a and a commodore 64.

Wow, One of my TI99s had a memory expansion box that you could
add cards to to make it perform better.

It contained 32K of additional memory...lol How did I ever use all that
additional memory?

The first program I wrote required me to copy it on to 3 floppy disks in
order to save the work. Good ole GW Basic...

Next came my Trash80 with it's 8" floppy drive....

Gotta go take my nap now. Starting to feel kinda old at the moment.

I almost bought a TI99/4a! 8-( Fedco had a sale for like $100 as I recall, but I just didn't want it bad enough to part with the money. It EVEN had the expansion box! As I recall, that was a box with a VERY stiff ribbon cable hooked to a connector that hooked to the side of the small TI99/4a unit.

Oh well, I STILL have my apple II+ and laser 128.
