@[email protected] I thought the birthday was a date in October 1969...but maybe I was thinking if bare networking, and not TCP/IP proper. 😃
@[email protected] Minnesota Regional Network had backbone IPX routes in addition to IP until about 1996.
This is a very cool reminder, as I prepare to start teaching my new linguistics course, "Language and the Internet". Thanks!
@[email protected] Also time started on Jan 1st 1970, no?
@[email protected] When I was an operator on a node on the ARPAnet in 1976, I didn't realize it wasn't the Internet yet. All I knew is I could login to MIT ITS machines from my IMP in Marina Del Rey.
"The 1983 deadline’s passing was anticlimactic, [Vint Cerf, co-creator of the TCP/IP protocol] recalls, considering how important TCP/IP became as an enabler for the internet."

15 years went by and two clowns Gore/Clinton spoke of the information superhighway as if they invented it and gave it to the world. Some local public libraries begun offering dial-up service at little cost, and suddenly the internet was outside military and academic walls. Most often it was a login shell to a unix system. Bitnet was on its final days and mosaic on html1 was magic.
Something like dillo today :)
@[email protected] A bit misleading. ARPANET had been dual stacking NCP and TCP/IP for a few years. The only switch that happened Jan. 1, 1983 is NCP was switched off for most hosts. Nothing got switched on or switched over.
Having this day be the Internet's birthday makes no sense. Hell, official RFC's had already been using the name "Internet" for years.
And this quote is complete bullshit: "Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other."
