The History of the Internet

Prior to watching this video, I had thought I knew a lot about the internet. However, after seeing the clip I realize that any knowledge I have comes in the basic navigation of the web and when it comes to the history or infrastructure I know next to nothing. Though I had heard of several of the terms used, were someone to ask me I would not have been able to inform them of the definitions or functions of these terms. Coming into this class, it strikes me that the only historical fact about the internet I know (other than some older websites) is that it originated in the military. It was interesting to see just how the internet has grown and evolved over the years, particularly at its origins, and I look forward to learning more from this class.
