Скачать или смотреть The Untold History of the Internet: From ARPANET to Global Privatization

How did a Cold War-era research project transform into the global digital infrastructure we use today? This video dives deep into the archives to trace the evolution of the Internet, beginning with the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) in 1969.

We explore the groundbreaking theories of packet switching developed by Paul Baran and Donald Davies, which allowed data to travel independently across a distributed network rather than relying on a vulnerable central hub. You’ll learn about the first node-to-node message sent from UCLA to SRI—the succinct and prophetic "LO"—which famously crashed the system before the full word "LOGIN" could be completed.

Key Milestones Covered:
• The Transition to TCP/IP: Why January 1, 1983, is considered the "Flag Day" and official birthday of the modern Internet.
• The Rise of NSFNET: How the National Science Foundation stepped in to provide a high-speed backbone for academic research, connecting supercomputing centers across the U.S.
• The World Wide Web: The revolutionary impact of Tim Berners-Lee at CERN and the release of the Mosaic browser, which brought a graphical interface to the general public.
• The Privatization Era: A look at the controversial 1995 decommissioning of the NSFNET backbone and the handoff of control to private commercial providers.

We also analyze the implications of privatization, including the emergence of a concentrated backbone industry, the lack of "must-carry" regulations, and the lost opportunity for the government to bake security and societal values into the Internet's fundamental design.

Featured Pioneers: Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn (Co-creators of TCP/IP), J.C.R. Licklider (The Visionary), Larry Roberts (ARPANET Leader), and Jon Postel (The Internet’s Editor).
