Yes, that's right. The technology that you're using to read this blog is 40 years old.
CNN political commentator Jack Cafferty blogs about this today:
The system that has revolutionized almost every part of our lives turned 40 years old this week. October 29, 1969 was the first time people sent a computer-to-computer message. It was in California that UCLA Professor Leonard Kleinrock successfully connected the school's host computer to one at Stanford University.
The project had started a few years earlier: After Russia successfully launched Sputnik in the late 1950s, U.S. leaders stepped up funding to enter a technology race with their Cold War rival.
Fast forward 40 years - and It's pretty hard to imagine society without everything we're used to about the Internet...
Cafferty asks how your life would be different if we didn't have the Internet. I'll ask YOU the same question. What would your life be like today if the Internet were nonexistent?
E.C. :)
