Great video. The animations were helpful and pretty cool to watch. I wish it was 30 minutes so he could slow it down a little (my moran head hurts from trying to assimilate the rapid fire details).

Thanks Subby.

That was the first 'history of the Internet' video I've ever seen that actually mentioned Cyclades.

If you don't realize that Al Gore was instrumental in creating the internet we use today, you're a moran. (new window)


Thanks for posting that. Friggin sorry little neo-con ingrates posting crap on an internet that wouldn't exist if they had been making policy in the 90's.
They should read this excerpt, and try to remember what the internet looked like before netscape navigator/ mosaic.

"An important result of the Gore Bill was the development of Mosaic in 1993,[5][10] the World Wide Web browser which is credited by most scholars as beginning the Internet boom of the 1990s:"

Interesting video. This would be a good topic for a full-length documentary, actually. Even though most Farkers are old timers on the net, we don't necessarily know much about the history behind it.
