History of the Internet

I think this movie did a great job of illustrating just how the internet grew to be what it is today. I always though how crazy it is that we've come so far in such a short time. I liked that this video really showed HOW exactly that happened. I learned that it was entirely a snowball effect of supply and demand in a way....for example, the demand for more people to be able to access the web was needed...so the technology was invented, or supplied. One of the most interesting parts for me was learning about the internet's history during the cold war....who knew the internet was advanced as a product of our conflict with Russia? Finally, the illustrations, though incredibly simple, really helped me get a visual and concrete grasp on some abstract ideas about the growth of the connections that created the "Inter-net."
