It reminds me of the animated sections of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Just waiting for him to say “In the beginning the [Internet] was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

Wow that is cool and educational. It was amazing to now that it all just started 15 years ago. Now there was a so called “super computer” already in the market but cost a fortune.

I have read a bit about the internet, and never heard about Europe being a part of it. Seems like it is “slanted” with a European flair. I will have to do some more research on it.

Very informative, although I’m surprised they missed out the educational sectors JANET and BITNET.

Interesting stuff! :) Would’ve thought that he’d mention the WWW as well though.
