The History and The Future of Internet.

I was amazed to read some articles about the beginning of Internet, how its concept began as early as the 1960s by computer scientist J.C.R. Licklider when he conceived the idea of having an “Intergalactic Computing Network” when he was working at MIT back in 1962. His vision inspired other scientists who brought the idea of a communication network in to realty which later evolved in to Internet as we know it now.

Reading these articles also made me wonder how the Internet is going to evolve further as new technologies and ideas come along. As human reach expands beyond planet Earth we might find ourselves going back to the original vision of “ Intergalactic Computing Network “ , perhaps this idea was ahead of its time and perhaps it might take a few more years for us to truly realize its importance.

Inspired by the story of Internet I registered the domain name IntergalacticNet.com ,

What is your prediction for how the Internet is going to evolve considering the advent of AI and the expansion of communication networks to the Moon and Mars and beyond.

I guess there will be a speed limit on the way to the moon and mars

Happy 50th Birthday to the Internet!

and thanks to the original pioneers such as J.C.R. Licklider for getting this all started by coming up with the idea of an "intergalactic Computer Network" which later thanks to Leonard Kleinrock and a few of his colleagues was brought to life as ARPANET and which after going through several changes and improvements by other scientists eventually evolved into the Internet as we know it today.

The stories your told only give part of story. As yes it was educational facilities that built networks and the porn exploded from newsgroups with html to browsers but that usually is left out.

Internet has come a long way and has evolved to become a very valuable tool in our lives that benefits us in so many ways that goes beyond just social media or entertainment and just like any other technology it's up to the people whether its used to help humanity at large to ascend to a higher level of existence or whether it's used to put people in bondage and cause them to go astray from the path to true salvation.
