[Air-L] internet history timeline

[Richard Hill]

I would also add Doug Engelbart's 1968 "Mother of all Demo."

From: http://sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/1968Demo.html

In this segment Doug outlines the participation of ARC in the planned ARPA
computer network to be established within the next year (1969), in which 20
different computer sites across the country will be connected in a network.
Doug muses that with the planned band width of 20KB per second and delay
times with less than one-tenth of a second, he might be able to show the
present demo again next year from Boston.
	
	In this segment Doug explains how NLS will be used as the
infrastructure for ARPA networks experiment in creating the Network
Information Center. Individuals and groups in the Network can query "Who's
got what services?" NLS provides the tools to connect different users to
appropriate technology. This is an example of enhancing group productivity
and augmenting human intellect.
