OK, so that's debatable. But many people believe that today, 40 years ago, the internet was officially born.

What? You thought the internet was only 20 years old or so? Well, that means you don't know the difference between the internet and the World Wide Web, which is about 20 years old.

We won't go into the details in this post but maybe on one of my other blogs (see my Yovia blog or my Examiner.com page).

The internet was born 40 years ago today, when the first computer to computer message was sent from a computer in a lab at UCLA to Stanford. The message was supposed to say "Login" but the sending computer crashed after "o" so the first message ever sent between computers was "Lo." How profound.

Below is a picture of the internet from CAIDA (The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis):

The internet is WAY COOL, dude! and that is what this board is about...cool stuff.
