Did anyone know that this month was the 25th birthday (1989) of the Internet. Hard to believe its been 25 years.

I forgot all about that Birthday....cool stuff Rick-

I would of missed the B'Day party otherwise. I do recall going online at work in 90. Tho' we didn't get our first computer at home for online use until 96.

The Internet Revolutionized doing homework. The shit kids have these days, we never even dreamed of. Can you imagine having I-Net access when we were kids doing homework? Shit it does their homework for them, all they got to do is cut and paste it. Or re-arrange it, as I recall my son's teachers saying "now don't cheat, the words have to be your own", yeah right, just change the paragraph order around. Or change a word here or there.

The internet is actually quite older if you consider ARPANET as the origins of the concept. Then the birthday is October 29, 1969.

ARPANET...isn't that the guidance system Charlton Heston used, that landed him in Planet of the Apes? (not the movie)...J/K

One of the best endings to a movie EVER.

Lets not forget the guy who invented the internet --

One of the dumbest jackoffs ever- Al Gore.
Lets not forget, Al Jezeera..another one of Al Gore's business ventures along with some other global warming products.

I was gonna say the same thing as well... and I would tweek the comment about "global warming products" to "products regarding the mythical global warming"
