Tech Happy Birthday, Internet!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Tue, Nov 14 at 1:33 PM

Just in case you forgot to send a card, the internet turned 16 years old today.

In response, the WW said, “16 years, huh? Well, it’s obviously not going away. We better start a blog!”

KIDDING! (But they really have never heard of the internet.)

The web may be 16. But the Internet is 37. The first two nodes of its precursor, in fact, were connected on my birthday. I AM THE INTERNET.

Actually, the World Wide Web turned 16 today. The Internet is more like 38 years old.

Bah, Wikpedia. Here:

"1969: First 'host to host' connection between UCLA and SRI October 25. First 'log-in' crashes; second log-in works. Generally considered the establishment of the Internet"

I AM THE INTERNET.
