The Complete History of the Internet in just 8 mins

After watching this Documentary I feel like I really should thank all the people that created internet which makes life so easy today.

this is superb! If history can be taught this way, it'll be exciting!

O knew that it was military at first during the Cold War.

Plus the first compter casted message was suppost to be LOGIN IN but it turn out to be just LO; that is where the turn low down comes from.

The first bit reminded me of this psychology experiment that I participated in. Was in a room filled with running hardware and a sensor strapped on my head (was uncomfortable and sweating buckets). I definitely feel sorry for anyone who had to work in the same room as the computer way back when.

ow... my head...

pretty interesting, this is more to the point than wikipedia

Saw this a while back when it was featured on youtube. I've always thought that the history of computers/modern technology is just as important as any other history subject. Maybe because I'm a computer engineer, but whatever ^^

without internet we are still an old timer hahaha :D

the just reminds me "The Patriots"...

people who play all MGS series would understand what I'm saying...

haha i had to learn of this at school xD

Al Gore invented the Internet.

Very educational.

Very informative :)

Yup, thanks to the internet(and of course the people who developed it) we're here sharing infos with each other.

Ah, the great internet. I love it and can't live without it now. And thanks to it, we are gathered here as well :)

When i was young, I don't even know what is internet. I am glad that now we have internet, which make our life easier.

wow...I can't believe they made the video so Simplified and the Drawing are really easy to understand....Great movie they had made.

Gives me hope for what might be possible by the time another 50 years have passed and I'm at retirement age. Assuming I'm still alive and assuming I can learn how to use the new technology.

Lol, so true about the teenager part. Especially the anime XD

The was a very interesting video, never really knew how the internet was born. Thanks for posting this.

Yeah, when I think of how different life would have been for me if the Internet is was as well established then as it is now... just thinking of how much easier it would have been to research projects, not to mention communication, Youtube, online gaming, et cetera. I wonder how much more things will change over the next 10 years or so!

Glad the internet was born not just for porn. lol

haha glad the internet exists!!

Very glad that everyone can access the Internet now!

...except DPRK and China.

Thank you, packets!

Yeah man, just imagine if internet doesn't exist today..what kind of world we will be living in...

That was a very information documentary. Never really fully understood TCP/IP.

Quite neat. Never been much of a history person but this is my field, so it's good to know :P

wow very interesting ^0^

Oh noes. ME-tan comes down crashing on you!
Anyway, Internet 2 is coming too. And then becomes SkyNet :)
I bet systems are going to be renewed faster and faster and so will protocols. More powerful and complex. Adding new layers and encapsulation for old technologies will make that part a mess as well.

so...where's the part wher Skynet launches misslies against russia and starts exterminating the human race?

Very quick and clean.

I consider myself lucky to have experience a time when the internet was not so widespread. I remember back when I was in middle school I hardly used the computer which ran on Windows NT. The screen savers were some of the best I recall. Simple yet funny. Playing MS-DOS games (>oo)> Then the whole boom with chat rooms. Wasn't so big with that but they were fun. Life before Google too. MSN search wasn't so bad.

I kind of miss old times.

Can't imagine my life without the internet >..< that would also mean no DC.

Grateful for the internets? that's a tough one

I've come to realise that the internet can be highly dangerous too - To be able to do many things more efficiently in real life makes you forget how things were/are normally done. Take for instance, e-learning. Like the iKnow classes, the creation of such a resource is obviously great. But the danger is that there is no longer any sort of boundary looking out for you. No stress. No teachers to keep you in line, No one to challenge your thinking, etcetc. All the benefits from attaining knowledge through the net depends on an individuals own willpower and skill.

I know this only applies for perhaps a small count of people on the internet, but it's hard to ignore (for me) the problem that this creates.

Maybe i'm just a pessimist ^^;

Very educative, even I'm studying in computer network I learned something

amazing education !!!

in my day we had to walk 5 miles uphill, barefoot, in the snow to get our anime. Now all you young'uns can get offa my lawn!! ^^;

Things will only get faster, smaller and cheaper. The future looks good.

What Danny wrote reminds me of what he posted a long time ago ^^

"Be grateful of the Internets - use it for health"
as in, take care of dolphins? Made my day :D

but yeah... time passes fast, in twenty years ppl will be writing similar stuff to
"Be grateful of the ubber AI - I had to code my own websites"

kinda sad...

Yeah I'm definitely thankful for computers and the internet! I go to school part-time online and whenever I need some information I always look online for the answer. :'D

Thank you internet!!

Truly an amazing video, Danny. I've already recomended it to a bunch of friends. ^^

I never spotted DOS the last time I saw this picture!

the animation in that video was so easy to understand. thank you internet people!

i wonder what would happen to Danny if the internet was never developed like it is today

I remember watching this when it was featured on YouTube. Very informative indeed. ^^

Amazing. I can hardly remember what I use to do before I started frequenting the Internet.

cool video. quite informative. I didn't know about those three other networks. most of the text I read about the history of the internet usually focused on DARPA and doesn't even mention the other three.

the internet is a usefull tool, i dont know how i can would live now without the internet

The internet is great for the dissemination and promoting the acquisition of new knowledge for all peoples with access, but I can't help but feel it also promotes a dehumanization of social networks with the moral hazard that comes with anonymity. A tradeoff occurs perhaps where people reveal more personal information and promote a community setting, but even then there are limitations what people can or are willing to do with each other.

An interesting time to be alive. Though I'm quite sure my life would be healthier without the thousands of doujinshi I've downloaded.

Thank God for the internet ^^

Look the internet began it felt like getting out of the stone age...

Very good! simple and easy to understand.

Without internet I won't be able to get as much knownledge as I do now.

Internet, thank u for let me learn internet.... haha.

interesting video. Its amazing....the internet....

Wow that was pretty interesting! Now if only other complex topics were as easy to understand >w<''

LOL it took my teacher 3 hours to teach us that at my Network Admin class and i just understood it fully in eight. :)

We never realize how great something is til it's gone. Cherish the great Internet-sama and what he does for us. (Hmmm...if the Internet really did have a persona, I wonder what he/she would look like?)

bless the lord for internet, couldn't imagine working without internet in my life

Awesome video... informative and easy to understand. Much more enjoyable than a networking course.

i can't imagine life w/o internet
the internet was the greatest invention ever!

I should give this to my mom. She always scold me for sitting in hours in the computer, saying "That damn internet should be removed". This invention and it's successor is solid number 1.

No Internet no life..

The video is very informative indeed! I have learn some things. We must thanks those guys who make the internet. It's so easy to use.

It furthers reinforced what i have learned...

very informative :D
INTERNET FTW!!!

I really liked how the documentary was presented. The approach they used is really effective in making the supposedly-boring topic a lot more interesting... ^^

Nice video. Internet do open up the world of many people.

Now if only my classes used such engaging yet simple pictogram presentations, I'd have graduated with flying colours. Excellent way to educate the masses by the moviemakers.

That was like a Hitchhiker guide to the Galaxy style explanaton.

Kinda sad that the UK made theres for money.

A lot easier to understand compared to what I read on Wikipedia. Thanks for sharing.

"The complete, comprehensive history of the Internet from 1957 to 2009, in just 8 minutes...minus the tentacles, lubricants, dolphins and "eyes" XDD"

This is no internet that i've ever heard of!

The history of the internet on the internet being read on the internet received on the computer that is logged on to the internet....................... Ok now I'm board, now to look at pictures of things on the internet.

words of inspiration

Funny thing is that I also never had internet until I was in my 20s. When it came to anime, information, and other things, I watched it on TV... read it... and more. I think before the internet, I did too much reading and not knowing.

But, also, I did manage to be in two episodes of Mtv's Singled Out. That, and Carmen Electra also touched me several times. (Danny might remember seeing her in Playboy.) Yet, after the internet, I did get to write two anime-based articles, with one getting recognition as far as Japan (as one person told me).

But I must say this... Friends don't let friends use AOL when it comes to dial-up. X3

Internet FTW!

I have been online since 1993. Think of a high speed 14.4k modem, Windows 3.11, and Commander Keen. I have spent most of my life on the internet and I am thankful for all of the people who made the exchange of ideas spread and social networking. This video reminded me of a Sciam article on the ARPANET. Some people knew it was going to be like this, but the majority did not even have a clue. I am only in my mid-twenties, but I have more experience than a lot of people.

The internet shall be free for the masses. This is to those engineers and programmers to make it possible. It is going to be a fun ride!

imagine back in the day when you had the first internet, now kids like 3 years old knows how to use the internet.

DARPA! Banzai!

This video is awesome. Thanks
