Only much later did Columbus's discovery of America come to be seen as more important. Maybe something similar will play out in mid-20th century technology history. -- Guy p.s.: also, although it's *really* off topic, I do appreciate that the vocabulary I used for the 1492 example (commonly used when I was in college) is also dated, which shows how history keeps changing On 6/1/15 12:47 PM, Joe Touch wrote: > > > On 3/12/2015 7:35 AM, Noel Chiappa wrote: >> Odd how two such major things, long-term-historically speaking, happened in >> the same year! >> >> Noel > > Woodstock too, to give further context ;-) > > Joe > _______ > internet-history mailing list > internet-history at postel.org > http://mailman.postel.org/mailman/listinfo/internet-history > Contact list-owner at postel.org for assistance. > From jeanjour at comcast.net Mon Jun 1 13:07:36 2015 From: jeanjour at comcast.net (John Day) Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2015 16:07:36 -0400 Subject: [ih] ARPANET and Apollo 11 In-Reply-To: <556CA941.6010607@tamu.edu> References: <20150312143505.BED3218C106@mercury.lcs.mit.edu> <556C9AA3.7020402@isi.edu> <556CA941.6010607@tamu.edu> Message-ID: Those two events are quite related. Ferdinand and Isabella had just come to power because the Moors were thrown out, and Columbus had failed with everyone else because they knew what they were doing. (They hadn?t fudged the size of the earth and knew they didn?t have the range to get that far. Of course what they couldn?t know was that there was a continent in the way and he didn?t have to go that far.) Isabella was taken in and didn?t know her science and Columbus lucked out. > On Jun 1, 2015, at 14:49, Guy Almes wrote: > > Noel, > Sort of reminds me of my European history class, where the professor > pointed out that, for a long long time, if you'd asked what happened in > 1492, the expulsion of the Moors from Spain would have been the big > deal.

It was some serious abuse of the physics/space science DECnet, probably by the Chaos Computer Club, in 1986 or 1987. It was no surprise that the network was vulnerable; the surprise was that people would attack it maliciously.

This Global Innovation Summit will examine the people and events that led to the creation of the Internet. Prominent contributors to the rich history of the Internet will conduct a conversation about the diverse elements that contributed to the creation of innovations and inventions that led to the Internet Age. The Internet is among the most powerful and influential ?inventions? ever created. But where did it come from? Who were the people who first imagined it, and what are the inventive technologies that enable the Internet to exist? The evolution of the Internet continues as new innovations propel this global network of networks into seemingly impossible realities. Please join the National Museum of American History, the Internet Society, Internet pioneers, and digital natives for a lively conversation about the continuum of the Internet, from how it was imagined to where the Internet is taking us in the future. *PANEL:* *Vint Cerf*, widely known as one of the "Fathers of the Internet," is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the Internet. He has served as vice president and chief Internet evangelist for Google since October 2005. Mr. Cerf was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2012. *Mitchell Baker* is Executive Chairwoman of the Mozilla Foundation and the leader of the Mozilla Project. She is responsible for organizing and motivating a massive, worldwide, collective of employees and volunteers who are breathing new life into the Internet with the Firefox Web browser and other products. Ms. Baker was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2012. *David Farber* played a key role in many systems that converged into today's Internet. He is an Internet Hall of Fame inductee and the Alfred Fitler Moore Professor Emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania and Adjunct Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. *Sebastian Thrun* is a scientist, educator, researcher, inventor, and entrepreneur. Today, he is the founder and CEO of Udacity , a company dedicated to democratizing learning for everyone. Udacity has almost 4 million students in over 190 countries. The event will be webcast on the *Smithsonian Ustream channel *, ?and ? relayed on the *Internet Society Livestream Channel *. An edited version will be repackaged for educational use by the museum?s Education Outreach team and ISOC. *What: The Internet Age - Founders to Future Where: National Museum of American History, Washington DC When: Thursday June 11 2015 2:30-4pm EDT | 18:30-20:00 UTC Webcast 1: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/Smithsonian-On-UStream-TV Webcast 2: https://livestream.com/internetsociety/internetage Facebook: #internetage Twitter: #internetage * Comment See all comments *?Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/7826 -- - -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast WWWhatsup NYC - http://wwwhatsup.com http://pinstand.com - http://punkcast.com VP (Admin) - ISOC-NY - http://isoc-ny.org -------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
