The history of the internet

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

The following video, The History of the Internet, an animated documentary by Melih Bilgil, was featured by Youtube.com on 1/27/2009. It is a great illustration of the beginnings of the TCP/IP protocol which is the underlying communications protocol that connects computers to the internet. The HTTP protocol, a communications protocol, runs on top of the TCP/IP connections protocol and should be readily familiar to most web designers since it is the protocol used for web page transfer. This video is a well-crafted, entertaining, brief (8:10), learning object. Thanks for sharing Melih.
