|Hello All,
|
| Today I was reading some news about Internet and in one of them I
|found the phrase (that all of you have listened before): "Internet
|(ARPANET) was intended to survive a nuclear war", however, as far as I
|know, this is kind of a myth, right?, ARPANET was intended as a research
|network and the "war" part if very far away from the thuth.
|
| My question would be: when the words "designed to survive a nuclear
|war" appeared for the first time?
(I do not know.) This must have been in the 70s, all the people
were building private shelters at that time, there is a famous
sketch of the very wonderful Loriot on that [1], please note it is
about advertising the shelter in question, the "K2000"
(Luftschutz"K"eller, for cellar (bomb-proof refuge)). I wonder,
maybe that could be refurbished and be sold as "K2020", it could
become a bestseller!!!
