Internet history lesson

Excellent presentation from the Guardian to mark the 40th anniversary of the internet.

(Aside, that is, from the people’s history title. There’s nothing more annoying than that people’s … tag. It makes everything sound very soviet, and it’s nearly always a rock-solid guarantee that whatever’s going on has nothing to do with The People – as in People’s Republic, People’s Liberation Army, People’s Peers, etc.)

Stop moaning
Ok, ok, I know.

It is the Guardian, so what do I expect?

And it is a minor quibble. This is terrific stuff.
