Great video outlining the history of the Intertubes in a clear and entertaining manner.

Everyone has heard of the Internet (we hope) and have used it (you have, haven't you?) pretty often.

But not everyone knows the history of the internet, nor just how much traffic and data we sent at the start, compared to how much we send now, and how we got there.

Check out this video that is a simple voiceover with a black & white visual style. It's eight minutes long, but it's definitely worth a look.

Krispy89 Feb 27, 2009 8:41 AM	YAY. I wonder how many more brave American soldiers will have to suffer to get the point across to Stephen Conroy that his web filter is screwed over beyond recognition, will be bypassed just like the Howard filter. And will slow down already slow speeds, resulting in higher costs for families and more sheriff notices for the residents of Austalia. AUSTRALIA: Our connection over here is so slow that we would rather watch grass grow or paint dry.
Awatif Jun 8, 2010 2:49 PM	Yes, I agree completely that he feared the Australian population has slowed down the speed of the internet and they are asserting that if I got there will be a net filtering slow somewhat in the process of using the Internet and is well known that Internet speed is an important process of all its nations want that so , before to prove that the program they must develop and resolve the final of the internet speed and other things that worry the population of Australia, for example when you install a system for filtering the net there will be a tunnel rolling in excess paid by Australian families for the service providers internet and I think that should not be endured by an Australian citizen because he is the original, which rejects this idea completely
