In this episode, we learn how the seeds of the Internet were planted by Uncle Sam and how we owe it all to Sputnik. In reaction to Russias leap ahead in technology, President Eisenhower and the Pentagon developed a new agency called ARPA.
This episode is called Nertworking the nerds, with Robert X. Cringely
He built the "American Autobahn" - a/k/a the Interstate Highways and the Information Highway/Internet. He Eclipsed Lincoln with the Transcontinental Railroad. All hail Ike. Quietly a Great President. Unlike the present Incumbent, Ike was Humble.
Ike was right -
