The Origins of the Internet
“When the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik satellite in 1957, the US government responded with dramatically increased support of technology research and development, much of it funded through the new Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). In 1966 Bob Taylor of ARPA’s computer research division obtained funding for a network called ARPANET to link computers so that resources and results could be shared more easily. He hired Larry Roberts of MIT to manage the project, which was based on newly-invented packet-switching technology. At the end of the 1969 the ARPANET began operating with four nodes: University of California at Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, Stanford Research Institute, and University of Utah. That original ARPANET gradually grew into the Internet, which 30 years later had about 43 million nodes.
The early Internet, used primarily by engineers and scientists, was not at all user-friendly. As e-mail and file transfer protocols and programs matured, non-specialists started to use it. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee of the CERN high-energy physics lab in Europe proposed a protocol for the exchange of online documents which became the basis for the World Wide Web. The development in 1993 of the graphical browser Mosaic by Marc Andreessen and his team at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) made the web accessible to everyone and led to its explosive growth. Marc Andreessen and entrepreneur Jim Clark founded Netscape in 1994 to create a web browser based on the Mosaic project. Netscape Navigator quickly dominated the early browser market.”

I made this little guy last night - was cutting out felt within minutes of the postie delivering the handbag feet for the head! Thanks Jodie!
A message from childhood, perhaps to you or me. Pay attention to who you truly are inside. Remember what it was like to be a child. More in my set "Signs". Nikon FE2 25mm black and white film.

Young people from Tokelau, a small island in the South Pacific Ocean, send their messages to negotiators at the COP19 climate talks in Warsaw, Poland.
I'm covering a co-workers desk this week while she's on holidays. And that means I'm extra slow getting the messages off her phone. Sorry 'bout that Tess!

Our conservative, capitalist politicians have been imploring us to get out, spend and behave as though nothing was wrong; nothing ever happened. They've relaxed the COVID-19 lockdown rules to make it all better.
This empty escalator is in a shopping mall in a jurisdiction with no known active COVID-19 cases. At a time of day in normal times it would have been crowded. Instead it is empty. The social distancing placards are all in place without anyone to read them.
The people who'd normally be shuffling past each other aren't buying the politicians' messages. They can read the stats without the pressure to spin a message. Those stats are screaming SELF ISOLATE so in the absence of a declared lockdown people are voting with their feet and staying away.
If only the covidiots elsewhere could read the numbers and adapt to create the new normal.
I did a double take on the sidewalk when I noticed that (someone sent me a message in stone) somehow newsprint became part of this concrete slab - I don't know how. Who's behind the message?
It's a surprise message that turned up in the old Warner Brothers Looney Tunes cartoons.
Here it is again! :-D
