  • Happy Birthday Internet!!! I love You and wish You "Freedom and Liberty" with responsibility. In addition I Praise and Thank Everyone that helped on its development, from Scientists to Programmers, Designers, Thinkers, Developers and so forth.

    I think that the development of the Internet was one of the best things that happened with our Society for all the Past, Present and Future. As you know the Media was dead locked and bolted in the Academics, Advertising, Marketing, Journal, Newspaper's, Magazines,TV hands for Years and Years. It was a big, huge control that these Institutions used to exert on the population as a whole. The internet open up that a little bit and now some of us can express their opinions with a computer device in their hands.

    My Prayer and Wish is that the public will remain very alert so their power of expression won't be taken away again by these Network Institutions always hungry to unfair capitalize on everything.

    Watch out folks, they are coming with their accessed grip control again!!!

    Ha! In regards to Your question about the Future? The Future of the Internet will be Remote Control from distance, Robotics and Interactivity!

  • I first started hearing Al Gore speaking about the Information Superhighway, and it would connect folks all around the world. I was trying to figure out what the heck he was talking about.

    I got this off of Wiki



    Gore gave an interview for CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer on 9 March 1999 in which he stated,


    “ During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. [17] ”

    This statement was often misquoted by media outlets and led to the creation of a widely spread urban legend that Gore claimed to have "invented the Internet." [18] The urban legend became "an automatic laugh. Jay Leno, David Letterman, or any other comedic talent can crack a joke about Al Gore 'inventing the Internet,' and the audience is likely to respond with howls of laughter."[19]

    In response to the controversy, Internet pioneers Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn argued in a 2000 email that, "We don't think, as some people have argued, that Gore intended to claim he "invented" the Internet. Moreover, there is no question in our minds that while serving as Senator, Gore's initiatives had a significant and beneficial effect on the still-evolving Internet."[20]

    Gore would later poke fun at the controversy on the The Late Show with David Letterman when he read Letterman's Top 10 List, which for this show was called, "Top Ten Rejected Gore - Lieberman Campaign Slogans." Number nine on the list was: "Remember, America, I gave you the Internet, and I can take it away!" [21]

    Nice to know he was able to laugh at that, you bet Gore is class act.

    Anyway, I am glad that we have it and I guess my greatest hope is that it remains free in terms of expression (as stopnoise stated).

    Happy Birthday WWW

  • I feel that the internet was a world wide revolution. Access to information like never before. The feeling that there are other people out there; that we are not alone.

    In the future, I think the internet will be a big problem with Identity theft and stalking. Besides that, the government will probably instill restrictions on it and control us more easily through it.

    The internet is a powerful weapon, but also a tool for uniting the world.
