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!"

    "The Internet At 25"... but it started in 1969. I think this "Internet" is a lot like some 35 year old guys I've seen in various chatrooms trying to convince all of the co-eds that they're really 25.


    They'd have much better luck if they just said they were 35 and used the experience card.

    Since you mentioned it's about picking up women in chatrooms, which specific expereince card would you recommend?

    MasterCard or Visa?
