The Internet At 35

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can-drive-drink-and-buy-porn dept.

Anonymous writes "CNN has a story on the 35th anniversary of the Internet, overviewing its past and the future. According to the article the history began on 'September 2, 1969, as bits of meaningless test data flowed silently between the two computers.' So, happy birthday, the Internet!"

  5. 25 was right... by slashname3 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    25 was right, that was when Al Gore invented the Internet. It was not those geeks in 1969 that did it. No no, not them. Al Gore did it. He said so. Remember, its not real until the legislature says so.

    Maybe there will stop being so many liberals on it (you know - those over/under 30 who are liberal/conservative...). :p

    Yep,
    All f=d up.
    Bout time someone started a tech discussion on Slashdot. I thought that would get attention. My post was messed up, and now those in the know would jump in. I know zero about databases., but you all know. So, Discuss! Let's get it on with the object oriented and that all and such....
