At 10:30 p.m. on 29 October 1969 (just a few months after Neil Armstrong had taken the first steps on the moon) a 21-year old UCLA student, named Charley Kline, took the phone, called the computer lab at Stanford, and under the supervision of UCLA computer science professor Leonard Kleinrock, managed to send the first message over an Internet connection.
At the other end was Bill Duvall, and they were working on the forerunner of the internet, called the ARPANET (Advanced Research Agency Network), an experimental network of four computers commissioned by the U.S. government and located at UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, UC Santa Barbara, and the University of Utah.
He tried to type in โLOGIN,โ but the computers crashed after the first two letters.
Hence, the literal first message over the ARPANET was “lo”. About an hour later, having recovered from the crash, Kline was able to send the complete โLoginโ message.
The funny thing, though, is the very first message โLOโ was prophetic.
(โLo and behold!โ is an expression used to present a new situation often with the suggestion that, though surprising, it could have been predicted.)
Funny and prophetic statement .

Reblogged this on False percezioni and commented:
Cinquant’anni fa nasceva Internet. Eppure quell’avvenimento passรฒ inosservato, come spesso accade a molti eventi epocali.
Ma, risonanza o meno, la successiva diffusione planetaria di Internet e, in un secondo tempo, del Web e poi degli infausti social, ha cambiato le nostre esistenze.
Nel bene e nel male, ovviamente.
Luisa Zambrotta rievoca molto bene quell’esperimento di mezzo secolo fa e allora “ribloggo” il suo post.

Bonjour mon Amie LUISA

S’il existe un sentiment
Qui n’est pas toujours perรงu a sa juste valeur
C’est bien de s’รชtre connu par les liens du net
Sur WordPress
Ce sentiment est sincรจre et profond
Nos รฉcris nous redonnent souvent de l’espoir quand la vie est difficile
Quand tout est dans un climat de respect et d’honnรชtetรฉ
Voila donc pourquoi
Jouir d’une personne comme toi
Et un trรจs beau cadeau et un immense privilรจge
Que rien au monde ne serait remplacer
Je te souhaite une belle et agrรฉable journรฉe ou soirรฉe
Amitiรฉs de la Franche-Comtรฉ
Bisous.
Bernard

Impressed by your blog๐คฉ
You know people don’t usually think that they are living two lives; one that is real and the other is on social media.
I also wrote about it in my latest blog, so lemme know your thoughts on that.
