    From a single grey 15 foot cable to a network that spans the entire world in just 35 years. Go internet! Imagine where you'll be in another 35 years.

    Yay for this. My own dad actually had a part in the creation... he says if the internet was a handspan across, he'd be maybe the edge of a fingernail in the scheme of things. But yeah. Happy birthday internet.

    Actually, shazza, he's not a liar. He was a colonel in Air Force Intelligence and was assigned to write some codes to protect military information sharing from mainstream traffic. The codes were used in the creation of the early military and civilian internet. It was a miniscule part, but it was still a part.

    Ah, Internet, without your astounding aid in communications I'd most likely be single at this point, have no clue about half of the bands I really love and be forced into finding other ways to waste my time. Gawd bless ya.

    Thank you internet, for pretty much giving nerds / anti-social people a way to escape their lives from time to time / all the time. Congratulations.

    Also, I agree with shazza, your dad is a liar. Anything he says is not true.
