"Internet" -- Bill Nye for NSF50 The Internet's history is short--and Bill takes it on with a brief history. Credit: NSF Audio Transcript: "Hey, Bill Nye The Science Guy here logging on to the Internet to check my e-mail. Ah. Here's one announcing the National Science Foundation's 50th anniversary. As if we didn't know. Here's another from an interested listener. 'Dear Bill, love your show. Could you explain how the Internet got started? Ha. Great question.' Believe it or not the original Internet started a couple of decades ago with a Department of Defense project that allowed them to send information from one lab to another. The information could be shared. At this point the NSF not only funded an expanded Internet so researchers and educators could exchange information, but by the mid- 80s the NSF also assumed primary support of computer networking. You know the rest. Today the Internet is a big commercial enterprise, and it's a great way to stay in touch. I'm Bill Nye The Science Guy inviting you to join me and the National Science Foundation in celebrating fifty years of science and engineering discoveries." |
