Happy 40th Birthday, Internet

Happy_Birthday!Happy Birthday Internet !

The internet turned 40 today.

"On September 2nd 1969, in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, two computers passed test data through a 15-foot gray cable.

Stanford Research Institute joined the fledging ARPANET network a month later; UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah joined by year's end, and the internet was born."
