epp_b Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 WOOOT!!! Celebrate! NEW YORK (AP) -- Thirty-five years after computer scientists at UCLA linked two bulky computers using a 15-foot gray cable, testing a new way to exchange data over networks, what would ultimately become the Internet remains a work in progress. http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/08/2...y.ap/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfProRM Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Huh? http://www.sethf.com/gore/ BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now. Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process? GORE: Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be. But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

Guest Paracelsus Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 :'( Thanks, Ryan....I'm often "dating myself"...But I thought that was recent enough history not to be too cryptic.epp_b must have been hibernating during that campaign (Just teasing, guy! I wouldn't expect you to pay any more attention to the "I wish I hadn't said that" moments of US politicians than most of we Yankees pay to those north of the border ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachy Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hey, even I knew Al Gore was the Father of the Internet! Oops, forget the [sarcasm] tag. Too bad for Al Gore but he will be perpetually ridiculed for taking credit for giving birth to the Internet. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paracelsus Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 No one person solely developed the Internet. He may have had a hand in it, but there's no way that only he invented.Quite true!That's why I labeled his comment a, "I Wish I Hadn't Said That", moment.Poor Al got raked over the coals... and back... for that one.No doubt what he meant was that while in Congress, he took the initiative to help foster the development of the Internet.For good or ill...The Media doesn't forgive or forget slips of the tongue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 lets play.anyone remember when the www was only a tiny fraction of the internet? when ftp, gopher and others ruled?Yes! I started my second university degree in 1993 and I used ftp, gopher, veronica, archie, and slip for dial-up. Gopher was invented at the University of Minnesota and named after the football team, apparently. Archie or Veronica was invented at McGill University, but I'm not certain which one.who 'invented' the www and why?Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He was a physicist at CERN and wanted a way for him and his colleagues to share papers, experimental data, etc using the Internet.who 'invented' tcp/ip and why? (amazing, 35 years later it still works. it was designed when it only had to support a few nodes and yet now it supports millions.)Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn published a paper in 1974 with the title, "A Protocol for Packet Network Interconnection."where was the internet developed?At four American Universities with funding from the U.S. Defence Department's ARPA research agency. The first nodes in chronological order were UCLA (Sept 1, 1969), Standford (Oct 1), UC Santa Barbara (Nov 1), and the University of Utah (Dec 1).what is the most popular use of the internet? (no, not porn! quit browsing there... )E-mail. Trivia: Queen Elizabeth II first sent an e-mail message in 1974. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
