December 9, 1968            Doug Engelbart demonstrates oN Line System (NLS), a working prototype of the first fully functional, multi-user hypertext system; users of NLS could share and annotate documents and use hyperlinks to jump from place to place within a document or between documents. 1990                                       Archie, the first Internet search engine, is developed by Alan Emtage at McGill University. At the same time, the computer scientists who developed ARPANET had their own motivations. Februrary 1985                  Whole Earth’s ‘Lectronic Link (WELL) established, one of the first “virtual communities.” The WELL presented its first users with the disclaimer You Own Your Own Words. July 1961                              Leonard Kleinrock publishes "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets"; in December 1962, Kleinrock submits his MIT Ph.D. dissertation, proposing a mathematical theory for what were later called packet-switched networks. WWW browser was available for download via FTP by CERN. Fall 1996                              Ethan Zuckerman creates the first pop-up ad. This is something the brain can do easily, spontaneously. The Mundaneum will eventually house more than 15 million index cards, 100,000 files and millions of images. Because this confirmed for them that circuit switching was better and more reliable than packet switching, which was flaky and would never work.”. Leonard Kleinrock (quoted in Stephen Segaller, Nerds 2.0.1): “We cautiously connected and the bits began to flow; The pieces really functioned, just why I still don’t know; Messages were moving pretty well by Wednesday morn; All the rest is history. The ARPANET project was handed over to BBN Planet (GTE). But a technological revolution had begun. American engineer and computer scientist, start a project to develop Cooperative programming will be stimulated, and in particular fields or disciplines it will be possible to achieve ‘critical mass’ of talent by allowing geographically separated people to work effectively in interaction with a system.”. Laboratory. would have a faster connection. The only goal was to prevent the university’s computer scientists from going to get coffee only to find out that the pot was empty. Telenet becomes the first commercial version of ARPANET. On Oct. 29, 1969, the world was humbly changed forever. October 1990                     Tim Berners-Lee begins writing code for a client program, a browser/editor he calls WorldWideWeb, on his new NeXT computer. three organizations: Network Solutions began registration services for .com, .net, .org and UCLA sends off the first message, “lo,” to Standford on October 29. Honeywell mini-computer (Honeywell 516) containing only 12 kilobytes of ram. research project that consisted of protection and transfer of vital information in … The research community has used links between paper documents for ages: Tables of content, indexes, bibliographies and reference sections… On the Web… scientists could escape from the sequential organization of each paper and bibliography, to pick and choose a path of references that served their own interest.”. 2000                                       Google’s index of the Web reaches the one-billion mark. Applying a pre-conceived taxonomy to a body of knowledge vs. self-organization via associative links; 3. It will be such computers, much miniaturized, that will serve as the ‘brains’ of robots… Communications will become sight-sound and you will see as well as hear the person you telephone. 1957. It was wired on 56 kbps speed. Centralization vs. decentralization of resources and knowledge; 2. April 30, 1993                     CERN declares the Web protocol and code free to all users. On October 29, 1969 at 10:30 PM, internet history was made, as it was born with the transfer of one simple message. We have 5 million to 15 million people’s individual voices.”.
