Today is International Internet Day: Happy birthday, #Internet! International #InternetDay is celebrated worldwide, every year on 29th of October. #LIKE to wish #Internet #HappyBirthday Read the short story: On Oct. 29, 1969, the very first electronic message traveled from a computer in the science department at UCLA to another computer at the #Stanford Research Institute. Computer Science Professor Leonard Kleinrock was supervising graduate student, Charley Kline, as Kline sent the first message over the Internet to fellow programmer, Bill Duvall. Although the message was nothing inspirational or life-changing, it would become a message that would change the world. Kline was attempting to send a one-word message – “login” but only managed to type out the letters “L” and “O” before the system crashed! Kleinrock said, “All we wanted to do ... was to send a simple login capability from UCLA to SRI. We just wanted to log into the SRI machine from UCLA. The entire one-word message, “login, was finally sent in its entirety about an hour later and the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network ARPANET, the network that would one day become the #Internet, was born.
