The internet turns 35.

Happy birthday to the Internet, which turned 35 years old today. According to CBC, 'In order to log in to the two-computer network, which was then called ARPANET, programmers at UCLA were to type in 'log', and Stanford would reply 'in'. The UCLA programmers only got as far as 'lo' before the Stanford machine crashed.' Amazing, that then, it was impossible to even type lo, and now we're able to something such as this.

Full text of the story can be found here.

Also, this is my first post as a contributor for the site...hope you all like!
