@ai6yr My network timestamp is sometime in 1968 when I worked in the room next to IMP #1 at UCLA or 1972 when I began working on network (and OS) security at SDC in Santa Monica, as seen on this map...
"AARP membership is open to anyone 18 or older. While AARP’s mission is dedicated to the needs of the 50+ population, anyone can become an AARP member. "
@ai6yr@WastelandWandrr@paninid heh they were ok until the lines got damaged
and until the pad fell off the desk
and of course were never quite big enough
You are right they were terrible.
@ai6yr@paninid I was wondering about this myself. It depends on your definition of “internet.” If it’s the World Wide Web, then it’s 1989, but if it’s TCP/IP, it’s 1974. ARPANET is older but used different protocols.
@ai6yr@paninid Oops! I didn’t read the history page linked to. TCP was 1974, but it looks like TCP/IP were combined in 1983, and that’s the modern internet.

Johann Philipp Reis - Microphone
Bild-O-Brik predates Lego by over 10 years.
