NSF History Of The Internet

I like to learn about historic events. I think it is always interesting to find out about the “back story” of major events. I also think that the internet will go down in history as one of man’s greatest world changing inventions. Naturally, I would be attracted to a Website about the history of the Internet.

Organizations like the National Science Foundation (NSF) played a key roll in the development of the Internet by providing the resources that were necessary to fund the research. Now the NSF has put together a great Website about the history of the Internet. The site contains information about all of the innovations leading up to the Internet of today. Although I have not read the entire site, I have yet to see Al Gore’s name mentioned.

The history is broken down by decade beginning in the 1960s. The site includes a variety of multimedia features including interviews with many of the key players Check it out!
