The History of the Internet

I am a history buff but never got into the history of scientific things like the internet. Being a constant user of the internet, watching this internet brought a lot of insight on the evolution. Even though it was only a basic overview, the video was very well done and informative. I found the cold war parts the most intriguing to me. I knew that infrastructure policies such as the interstate highway system were put in place because of the cold war but never thought about the internet. After watching this video, it brought knew light to what I knew about the cold war and what I want to continue to learn. The one problem i had with the video was all the technical terms in such a short amount of time. I assume that we will be learning all of this in lecture though and I plan on re-watching the video after.
