Who invented the internet?

As you might expect for a technology so expansive and everchanging, it is impossible to credit the
 invention of the Internet to a single person.Long before the technology existed to actually build the Internet, many scientists had already anticipated the existence of worldwide networks of information.

  •  Nikola Tesla toyed with the idea of a “world wireless system” in the early 1900s, and visionary thinkers like Paul Otlet and Vannevar Bush conceived of mechanized, searchable storage systems of books andmedia in the 1930s and 1940s.                                                                             Still, the first practical schematics for the Internet would notarrive until the early 1960s, when MIT’s J.C.R. Licklider popularized the idea of an“Intergalactic Network” of computers. Shortly thereafter, computer scientists developed the concept of “packet switching,” a method for effectively transmitting electronic data that would later become one of the major building blocks of the Internet.
  • The first workable prototype of the Internet came in the late 1960s with the creation of ARPANET.                                                                                                                                 Originally funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, ARPANET used packet switching to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network. 
  • The technology continued to grow in the 1970s after scientists Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf developed.
  •   ARPANET adopted TCP/IP on January 1, 1983, and from there researchers began to assemble the “network of networks” that became the modern Internet.
  • The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990,when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web.

New Mexico State's first graduating class in 1893 had only one student—and he was shot and killed before graduation.

Sam Steel Way was named for a young man who would have been the first graduate of NMSU, then known as New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, had he not been murdered in 1893. Steel was shot and killed on March 9 of that year in what today is known as Mesilla Park. The 17-year-old was the son of a prominent Mesilla Valley family and a nephew of local Judge John McFie, who helped found the college. Steel began attending the college at age 13.                                             According to an article in  The New Mexico Collegian , a monthly publication of the Columbian Literary Society, Steel was delivering milk at the time of his murder. An excerpt from the article read:                                          "The hearts of the whole community w...

what does every dream means???

 Some Common Dreams and Symbols and Why They’re  Important For  90 minutes to two hours or more  each night, every single person on Earth dreams. Sometimes, the dreams are straightforward in their meaning to the dreamer: a long-lost friend reappears, a tropical beach beckons or the lottery jackpot is within reach. But dreams don’t always tell a simple story, and the field of  dream research  becomes even more fascinating when people from different cultures and backgrounds report having similar dreams. “Dreams are a universal language, creating often elaborate images out of emotional concepts,” explains Suzanne Bergmann, a licensed social worker and professional dream worker for more than 16 years. Bergmann, who is part of the experienced team of Dream Reflectors at DreamsCloud that provide feedback and insight about dreams, has identified 14 common images found in dreams posted to the DreamsCloud user-generated dreams database. “There’s no single, d...
