67th year of computer networking

In September 1940, Dr. George Robert Stibitz made first transfer of data in history to a computer using telephone line. He used teletype to send commands from Dartmouth College (a private academic institution in Hanover, New Hampshire) to computer based in New York. Let us to a bit calculation to see that now we are entering in 67th year of computer networking and see what a huge impact it has on modern society and world as we know it.

Perhaps the best analogy of computer networking would be the building of road or bridge over river, it has evolutionary role of enhancing economy and today right information in the right moment is foremost priority. As ancient Romans built roads and aqueducts we are now building information routes and connecting.

In this blog I also intend to write about things less known about networking, perhaps ones that are 'too scientific' for modern business related IT magazines. But, in order to understand networking or any science, we have to dive deep inside
ideas that were creating it during its evolution. So, since realm of ideas is realm of poetry - let us embark and enjoy on this voyage to still for many unknown land of computer networking.

update: I will start new blog about networking, so this will be the first post there also. Networking blog can be found on ---> http://networkprimer.blogspot.com
