    ARPAnet delivered its first message: a “node-to-node” communication from one computer to another. (The first computer was located in a research lab at UCLA and the second was at Stanford; each one was the size of a small house.

  • The Network Grows

    just four computers were connected to the ARPAnet, but the network grew steadily during the 1970s.

  • The inventor of email tried to keep it a secret.

    MIT graduate Ray Tomlinson helped build the ARPANET (precursor to the Internet). In those days, messages could only be sent to those using the same exact computer.

PPTP allowed for a computer to set up a secure connection or “tunnel” to a remote server and was essential for companies like Microsoft to establish private connections to their work networks from remote locations

  • Mobile Internet

    Much of the Internet we use right now is using our mobile phones. But the first mobile phone that had Internet connectivity was a Nokia model. The Nokia 9000 Communicator was the first phone with Internet enabled and launched in Finland in 1996. At this time however, the viability of using the Internet was limited because of very expensive prices charged by operators. However, by 1999-2000, mobile internet started becoming a more accessible reality.

  • GIFs are literally named after peanut butter.

    Steven Wilhite is known as the inventor of the GIF – those animated images that you see everywhere online. When deciding on the pronunciation of his invention, Wilhite said he deliberately chose to echo the American peanut butter brand, since his fellow CompuServe employees would often say (in reference to Jif’s TV commercials): “Choosy developers choose GIF (jif).”

  • Google was almost called “BackRub.

    In 1995, Sergey Brin, a 21-year-old graduate student at Stanford, was assigned to show Larry Page, a 22-year-old prospective student, around campus.

  • Instagram was born from a failed app called “Burbn.”

    nspired by the success of Foursquare, Burbn was a location-based iPhone app developed by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. It let users check in at certain locations, make plans for future check-ins, earn points for hanging out with friends, and post pictures of the meet-ups.

  • Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction” inspired YouTube.

    anet Jackson’s performance at the 2004 Superbowl might be one of the biggest viral moments of the early 2000s.

  • Facebook descends from a “hot or not” site.

    n 2004, Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg was banned from access to Harvard’s Internet following his creation of the controversial “FaceMash” site. In pretty creepy fashion, FaceMash “mashed up” faces of students side-by-side and let visitors choose who was “hot” or “not.”

  • . Twitter came out of a “hackathon.”

    In 2006, a company called Odeo, which was founded as a podcasting platform, was failing due to lack of growth and investors. So they decided to start holding company-wide “hackathons” to generate some ideas.

  • Wikipedia came out of a coding addict’s side project.

    Jimmy Wales, a research director for a Chicago firm, was so addicted to the Internet that he spent his free time writing computer codes. His passion eventually led to the creation one of the most popular sites on the web: Wikipedia.
