Happy 40th Birthday, Internet
Today marks the 40th Birthday of the Internet. On September 2, 1969, two computers successfully passed data through a 15-foot gray cable in a lab at the University of California. By the end of that year three other universities, Stanford Research Institute, UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah, had joined the ARPANET network and the Internet, albeit in its early form, was born.
With the progress made so far, everyone is eager to see, and be a part of, what the next generation of communication and computing will be like.
