Who Invented the Internet? And Why?
 

Al Gore did

An old German joke says: Die Inder haben das Internet erfunden.
(The Indians invented the internet). It's a lame pun, "Internet" sounds a bit like "Indernet" which would be "the Indians' network".

Freemasons, of course.

It was invented by the REPTILIANS behind the Iluminati

They are harvesting your dreams to fuel their space ship

True story


/sarc for the mentally challenged webmasters out there.

Fact :thumbsup

Everyone knows it was Al Gore.

I miss the old BBS days when nearly everyone you met 'online' - was somewhat local and you could actually get together with them.

Unless you had 'special' ways of calling numbers on the other side of the world for low or zero cost... :error

"Who invented liquid soap, and why?"

i was told the US military .
strange...

In fact, we did. :)

200 yards of phone cable - run from the college computer lab, through the drop ceiling, to the phone jack in the dean's office. :thumbsup

We'd dial-up BBS's in Simi Valley, CA from Toronto.

Blazing fast on the 2400baud modem, too. :1orglaugh

On a good night we could d/l a grainy 250k GIF pic in about 20 mins.

Me too. Some BBS's I used to check out were powered by software called WWIV. Ah, the good ol' days..

I did! A friend and I used to "phreak". We even had software that ran on TRS-80's and one for a PC that would play the extra touch-tones usually inaccessible to regular phones.

I used to connect with a friend to share software that was long distance from me normally. To get around it, we took advantage of some phone numbers here in Montreal that we called Loop-Lines. Basically, they were a bunch of phone number pairs that ended in 1194 or 1195 (I think). So if one of us called 645-1194 and the other called 645-1195, we'd be able to talk over long distance for free, or hook up our modems and swap software all night too. Fun.

I am not sure /sarc was needed here (as in not possible that somebody would not understand it) :1orglaugh

I have to agree with bronco67 :thumbsup

Thread saved!!

Why is Gore always mentioned when discussing the invention of the net - where did that start?

I don't know why Kelsi Monroe needs to do a fake cumshot.

The Internet was created for the purpose of a handful of universities who had different computer systems talking different computer languages to have a common format to exchange information.
If it had not been for Pentagon spending in those university's that needed this data exchange, it perhaps either would have never happened or happened decades latter.

The format of unix systems seem to prevail even today.

When by a act of congress to open the internet to the public in the 80's, it was still just a command line driven system (text based).
It has not until the advent of HTML that it became the powerhouse we know it today.

I do remember one of the first things I made use of in the beginning of the text based systems was the .GIF file format. Probably the 1st most important thing that came from that and was part of creation of universal standards in data and exchange.

Funny, it really does not seem like all that long ago.

Damit, you told the whole stuff first.. maybe mention CERN is Swiss for the protcol? anyway good information.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

I remember many enjoyable hours on Usenet back then...manually decoding binary files with UUencode.

Man, that's archaic.
