maybe it's just me - teamcoltra, on 06/16/2008, -58/+487Nice... wait... wheres Al Gore?
God, a time before there was twitter... if the internet was somehow rediscovered it would be VERY quickly documented:
Twitter: I Started Internet
WikiPedia: The internet has been connected to as of 8:30[1][2]
Blog-o-sphere: They say they found the internet.. but i don't believe them...
4Chan: lulz interwebz... in soviet russia... you ARE the internet
digg:9999 diggs for internet discovery check this out - Angostura, on 06/16/2008, -8/+204An interesting topic, but increeeeedly self-indulgent presentation.
- inactive, on 06/16/2008, -58/+229what a ***** douche bag. When he was doing that dramatic look into the camera documentary ***** i could only think 'holy ***** this guy is one of the biggest ***** douche bags I've ever seen and he needs a ***** hair cut too'
- fani, on 06/16/2008, -0/+163I was expecting to see Room 404
- cyberkode, on 06/16/2008, -6/+160This was the only time in history where there was no porn to look at on the internet.
- kapreme, on 06/16/2008, -3/+122He was crying, he just edited out the tears.
- gmoney1, on 06/16/2008, -17/+119Wow. I can't believe there was nothing there to signify it or anything.
- malonie, on 06/16/2008, -33/+130hey BORAT, you look good on this video
- norbiu, on 06/16/2008, -2/+97[citation needed]
- cheeseplease, on 06/16/2008, -12/+104That was really mustache! Thanks for mustache.
- straylightrise, on 06/16/2008, -11/+95Watson come here I need you.
- ahawks, on 06/16/2008, -8/+83Me too. Great that he found the room, but if you have the ***** room, then make a 2 minute documentary about the room, not how pissed off you are that there isn't a sign.
I don't want 10 seconds of you standing in a lab that ISNT the room where the first message was sent.
Maybe he's an art or drama student or something.
(dugg anyway) - fakekevinrose, on 06/16/2008, -5/+77I can't wait till I get the internet
- ATH025, on 06/16/2008, -7/+65That is some brutal hair.
- Puttzy, on 06/16/2008, -0/+58He looked everywhere but it was not found
- flashingcurser, on 06/16/2008, -5/+57I KNEW Zappa wasn't dead.
- xoticpt, on 06/16/2008, -0/+52Wouldn't there be 2 actual locations for the birthplace of the internet. I mean ONE computer connected to the internet is useless, and can't be defined as a network. I would assume that the receiving end of the message sent is equally as important as the sending end.
- PabloMac, on 06/16/2008, -2/+53Boelter Hall's website hasn't been changed since 1969:
http://boelterhall.com/ - kadeemruach, on 06/16/2008, -0/+50That was so painful to watch.
- hitkaiser, on 06/16/2008, -12/+59*YAWN*
- celkin, on 06/16/2008, -1/+46(.)(.)
- sexybobo, on 06/16/2008, -2/+46Actually the first message was ascii pron
- theodenking, on 06/16/2008, -1/+41This comment from the site says it all:
"Nice sentiment, but really your melodrama and facial hair are ridiculous." - hiPpymIck, on 06/16/2008, -9/+48not a hobby of mine but..
why @ ~ 04:30 pin up the notice outside 3409 instead of 3424 or was it 3420
..is this some sort of numericaql puzzle - travis6690, on 06/16/2008, -1/+39It's not as good as it sounds.
- jamesrl, on 06/16/2008, -1/+35The world wide web, that is hyper text markup language (html) and hyper text transfer protocol along with the first web browser was created at CERN.
Arpanet was one of the first modern precursor to the internet employing packet switching to be able to send data to multiple machines connected together on the same network. E.g. a precursor to TCP/IP that manages the way data is sent over the network. - sublimemm, on 06/16/2008, -11/+44why bury, thats hilarious
- jeremymccurdy, on 06/16/2008, -8/+40"Oh no, I spent a whole day looking and I can't find the birthplace of the internet! My life is ruined, time to listen to Linkin Park and cut myself."
- rob2oo4, on 06/16/2008, -3/+35Johnny Depp is taking the internets way to srsly
- cslawren, on 06/16/2008, -0/+29Yes, he was way too emotional about this.
- linagee, on 06/16/2008, -5/+33Where is the giant linksys shaped router? (cue southpark reference)
- geltoob, on 06/16/2008, -4/+324 minutes and 50 seconds to basically say he got an email from the professor who sent the first internet message. Skip the near emotional breakdown, and it would be 15 seconds.
- thespanielator, on 06/16/2008, -0/+28it's the same with lesbians, you need them in pairs
- Devroush, on 06/16/2008, -5/+33He's wrong.
http://napsterization.org/stories/archives/SPinter ... - Revolutionista, on 06/16/2008, -7/+32I kinda wished the original location was outdoors so the poor guy could get some sun.
- heresy_fnord, on 06/16/2008, -8/+32What does Al Gore have to do with it? Al Gore never claimed to have invented the internet. That was spin by the media. It was quotes taken out of context.
- Balanced, on 06/16/2008, -0/+24Actually the Wright Memorial at Kitty Hawk is a pretty popular tourist attraction. Admittedly, it's also at the beach.
What more can you say about a memorial where one of the two people it was built to honor was quoted as saying, "Well, it isn't too horrible." - rompom7, on 06/16/2008, -0/+24If you look at the trashiness of the web, it is easy to think that the place of the first internet connection does not deserve to be remembered.
However, this is not about the web. This is about the internet. This is about a technological innovation probably as significant as the steam engine -- and they keep historical steam engines in museums.
If you think of all the businesses you know, big and small, you will find that almost all of them use the internet in some way. Even if it is just for email. It's not an accessory; it is a tool. - Vietrmx, on 06/16/2008, -3/+26I was more annoyed by that annoying whistling sound his nose seemed to be making for the entire length of the video. Also that terrible, terrible mustache.
- analogkid01, on 06/16/2008, -1/+24"...in the worst way." - Crow T. Robot
- fakekevinrose, on 06/16/2008, -22/+44yea, He only found the physical site where a landmark technology was born that allowed you to insult him
- HonoredMule, on 06/16/2008, -2/+23That's the best historical web design I've encountered to date. Dare I say, it eve rivals some of our modern web design.
- hexydes, on 06/16/2008, -0/+20At 2:20, I was almost certain this was going to turn into a snuff film...
- franl, on 06/16/2008, -0/+20The Internet (or ARPAnet as it was originally called) is at least 20 years older than the Web:

- durerca, on 06/16/2008, -0/+18Mirror: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4ruMALNTs0
