What? Where's the mention of the Inventor of the Internet? AlGore?

over 1 year ago DT responded:

in Heinlien's "For Us the Living" written in 1938 there was a "Televue" which could transmit audio/video instantly and was coupled with high speed pneumatic tubes for delivery of data.

Tried to read, but the errors were too distracting. "CREN" and the picture of "coaxial" cable stand out as howlers.

over 1 year ago Kevin Hanna responded:

'76 has RJ45 UTP Ethernet cable, not 'coaxial' BNC connector that was used at that time. 2 generations of cable off (Think Ethernet was next)... Just sayin' ;)

yahoo should be mentioned

over 1 year ago Paul responded:

Neat. But yeah, the "CREN" and coax vs. RJ45 mistakes were very distracting.

over 1 year ago Swaroop responded:

The invention of HTML should have been included in this as well...without that, the sudden appearance of Mosaic in the timeline seems a bit strange to me.

Great Post, with Great Chronological Order. I would add a birth of first computer. Without one none of it would be possible.

over 1 year ago Bjørn Nielsen responded:

Is it an american thing, not to credit Tim Berners-Lee and CERN for WWW?

over 1 year ago Sigurdur responded:

This is really not good summary at all. No mention of all the search-engines before Google, too often today Google is portrayed as being the first. The description of the start of WWW is very skewed towards USA. No mention of Gopher or Usenet or other common tools used before WWW.

It's not CREN (Corporation for Education and Research Network WTF?), but CERN: Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire.

over 1 year ago Blaw responded:

No mention of AOL... it was the company that brought the net to all of us.

over 1 year ago Darlene S. responded:

Neat summary! Very interesting. :)

over 1 year ago Casey responded:

In 1992 I was paying something like $3.00 a minute for dial up to AOL. haha, they should have been mentioned.

over 1 year ago Dan Elliott responded:

An quick interesting graphical look at the history of the internet... nice.

over 1 year ago Aaron Schoenberger responded:

Awesome!!! I have never seen this and I had to save it. Wish there was a super high-res version I could print and place in our office.

over 1 year ago Funny Tees responded:

Well done! I remember when google first started offering gmail and the amount of storage you were allowed seemed so extreme. Nowadays it's not even a big deal.
