The History of the Internet (in 8 mins)

So you guys use it everyday, but how many of you actually know your history of the internet?
I remember some of this from Year 11 Computer Studies, but this is told quite well. And it’s not long.

In a mere 8 minutes it goes through all the important breakthroughs – from time-sharing to filesharing, from Arpanet to Internet. And it’s all done in nice clean black and white icons. Lovely.
I quite like the way it’s presented, background ambient music nice too. The narrator isn’t bad – but the script could have been a bit tighter and a little more entertaining. Still, it’s very well done.

And I love stuff like this. If there was more stuff like this back in Year 11, I would have got better marks.

Go educate yourself.

And if you like, you can also download the nice icons for free, here.
