The history of the Internet is very fascinating, its origins and its first uses too. Interestingly, the Internet was not actually invented by Al Gore, although he was a big proponent of the “information highway” concept that some of the researchers came up with when transfer technology moved from ARPA and Bell Labs to the private sector.
The first forms of the Internet were a great help in sharing knowledge and research among the best universities and scientists. In fact, by sharing information at a rapid pace, they were able to speed up their research and studies even faster. The whole story is very fascinating considering that the Internet now pervades almost every industry and every aspect of life.
My opinion is that you owe it to yourself to learn a little more about the history of the Internet so that you understand its beginnings and consider how it grew and then think about what it has become today. Because? Well, this way you can start to reflect on what it might be like in the next 5-10 years.
So I’ll tell you something, let me take this opportunity to recommend an extremely well written and researched book on the internet, in fact this is a book, the best book I’ve found on the subject that clearly illustrates how the modern internet came to be. . If you spend a lot of time on the Internet, you should know the story:
“Where the Wizards Stay Up Late; Internet Origins” by Katie Hafner; Simon and Schuster, New York, NT; 1998.
