The cold war was a unique one, it was a battle characterized by success in technology and science.
Rivals showed off their developments and no one wanted to be left behind. As a result, a single idea evolved that lead to the availability of all the opportunities today; to the possibility that you are reading this post.
The cold war had another consequence. It led to the formation of a single organization that focused on computing. This organization, for the first time, linked four computers to develop a computer network - the first one on earth.
The new collection of connected computers really changed the world. It created new possibilities and stretched the limit past the sky :-o.
But that was not enough. Something else had to be added on top. The computer network had to be expanded to one that would cover the whole world, to the one that is facilitating communication between you and I, right now.
Then that's when the focus shifted to the maintenance and continuous improvement of the Internet.
Ever since then, this mime has continued and it's still going on.
Thank you.
