History of the Internet
I found this movie to be quite informative, yet humorous. I never really knew that e-mail got started around 1965. I also found it interesting that there was chat rooms emerging, and for some reason, there was a numbered code that you could type in that was a reference to sex. I also found it interesting that MUD's, mini underground dungeons, were the start of the rise of games such as World of Warcraft and other similar games. I also found it odd that most geeks don't know too much about the history of the internet, while at the same time I think that's quite understandable because all the innovative software and techniques I use doesn't require me to know much about the history. When blogs started, they really did change the internet forever. I mean it's kind of like getting a pizza delivered to your house, except you can order whatever you want, and they bring it right to you so you won't have to go out on a quest. The best part about blogs compared to pizza, they are free! I mean I was amazed at the little mini computer they had developed. It's just mind blowing that they went from materials today we would sneeze at, to high powered computers, software that you can build a car with, blogs, games, web sites in a multitude of colors, and it all started with very simple chatting and e-messaging.
