Blog #2 History of Internet Video

I liked the narrator's voice. I wondered, though, if he still would have said "let's take a short detour to England" if he wasn't British. They did make packet switching a little bit easier to understand, at least visually. It was also interesting to note how much military/warfare played into the development of these technologies, first as a defense program, and then the part with different waves being necessary in case of an atomic attack. Overall I thought it was a pretty good explanation of how the internet came to be, in such a short time. It probably also helped though that we just talked about it in lecture...
