I’ve seen a few decent writeups on the History of the Internet, but this short video crams a working history into about 8 minutes that anyone can follow.
Now, it will start using some funky technical terms like TCP and IP, but they introduce it in such a way that I think almost anyone can understand it. Give it a listen.
And don’t forget to check out The World Wide Web Circa 1994 and the “Ancient†Internet TV News Special from 1993 if you didn’t see those before. I find the olden days fascinating. :-)
Back in the late 80’s I was selling the idea of TCP/IP as a networking protocal into corporates still using proprietory protocols. I wish I’d had this video then, it would have saved me an hour at least!
I’m not sure if you all remember the Texas Instrument “Speak and spell” I take it out every so often and think how far we have come. I think My Dad bought that in 1979. It was the big thing back then. Great Video Made my day.
Wooooow, great stuff. Little non animated but gets the point threw. No routers required in the future I think.
Hello

Thanks
