Remember the internet has been around for over a hundred years
Wait, what? I didn't realize Al Gore was that old.
Seriously though, ARPANET started in 1966. Am I missing something? Honest question.
ARPANET rolled out in the 60's. These technologies as well as wireless were available at least as far back as the 40's. If you work in those industries the proof is already there. I suspect it goes back even further. If you dig deep into World Fair's prior to the turn of the twentieth century you'll start to see a pattern emerging. These were obviously a way to roll out technology seamlessly. Everyone is smart enough to know that tech, from the wheel to the cell phone, does not occur overnight. And yet, it does. ARPANET went wide in the 60's. It was in clandestine use before that.
