Thought the Internet was created my the government, The World Wide Web was created by one man...... Amazing :o What we use every day, came from one man, who not only made the Web, but also the first web server. Almost as amazing as the guy who made Apple, Not only was he a programmer, but a software designer, hardware designer and a non-self proclaimed genius. The things people can do......
Not only that but before there was pong, there was ping pong, how many knew that? And how many people knew that The creator of pong, IS the father of gaming?

proof that the creators form yahoo are aliens

Think tv is a big part of our lives?
It took 13 years for television to reach 50 million users- it took the Internet less than 4 years.
It took 51 years before hard disk drives reached the size of 1 TB (terabyte, i.e. 1,000 GB). This happened in 2007. In 2009, the first hard drive with 2 TB of storage arrived. So while it took 51 years to reach the first terabyte, it took just two years to reach the second.
The first hard disk drive back in 1956 could store 5 MB of data, which was a huge amount at the time. This is coincidentally also the size of the first "small" 5.25-inch hard disk drive that arrived in 1980. We went from having to have a special room for the hard disk drive and its computer, to having one we could put inside a desktop computer.
"Considering that we now have tiny, cheap USB sticks that can hold up to 64 GB of data, which is about 1,600 times more than a normal hard disk drive in 1990 (40 MB), and 12,800 times more than the first consumer hard disk drive in 1980, things have certainly moved forward.
And just like we are now looking back and shaking our heads at the amazing...
