History of the Internet review

The internet seems more even more complicated now. A lot of factors had to come into play before the many series of networks came together including technology from France, England, and the United States. The scientific, economic, and militaristic motives created innovations in the networks that eventually combined into what the internet is today. The video helped me visually to understand the ways each added their own innovation and why they did. It also amazes me to think that all this technology and development happened in 50 years, a relatively small amount of time. The internet has changed a lot including information sharing, globalization, even down to our concepts of distance(the world seems a lot smaller when you are connected other continents in seconds).
