When I was a kid, the internet moved at 14.4 Kbps!

An interesting and cute little animation about the history of the internet. The internet celebrated it’s 50th birthday 2 years ago, and we all missed it. Didn’t even throw a party! This gives some perspective on how far we’ve come and gives the basic concept on the underpinnings of the internet. You’re not going to learn how TCP/IP works, but you’ll get an idea of what it does and why it was important. This something to show the kids when they express their disbelief that we didn’t always have hi-speed connections to the universe.
