Internet turned 40 yesterday...


I have been using the internet from the past 4 years and I never ever thought how old is this particular so called "Internet". But today I was so overwhelmed that Internet was born on Sep 2nd, 1969, that means today Internet guy has blown his 40th birthday candles yesterday. On September 2, 1969, two computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, exchanged some data, giving birth to the so called Internet. The exchange was part of the first test of Arpanet, an experimental network for the U.S. Department of Defense. And that exchange of the meaningless data was the beginning of a revolution called Internet that changed the way the world communicated breaking the geographical boundaries.
