The History of the Internet

This graphic is a microcosm of the stark evolution of the internet. Not shown are the technological discoveries before 1990 in regards to telecommunication. The video made me realize that my knowledge of computers lacked in their origin stories. I did not realize that ARPANET was the first prototype of the internet utilized for war. Also, the first item purchased on the internet was pizza; this fact was intriguing, as it displays that even tech-savvy people need pizza in their lives. The last fact that I didn't realize was the huge amount of space that previous computers occupied; interestingly, these room sized giants only had RAM's up to a few kb's!
