The first Internet connection, with UCLA's Leonard Kleinrock 

Astonishingly low key interaction for one of the greatest innovations in the history of mankind. I love it almost as much as watching the first moon landing.

What a great video. Thank you for posting this.

He's a legend!

When Mr. Kleinrock says they connected the IMP's together, does anyone know what he's talking about? Did they use existing telecommunication lines (meaning phone lines) to connect the IMP's? Or did they use something else entirely? These men do not get enough credit for the amazing accomplishment that is our modern day internet.

Gheef22 Why the hostility towards the guy? These people are pioneers they should be respected just like everyone else.

Classic video, thanks ❤

I can just imagine what happened. The moment the receiving computer (the PDP) got the "G" in "LOG", that was supposed to trigger it to fill in the remaining letters, "IN", sending them back to the sender (the SDS), but the attempt caused the PDP to crash before it could display it, probably from a software bug on its end. Hence, the message the guy on the receiving end got was "LO".

He's a master. \o/

I want to be there when that first packet came in. Come on time travel it's 2017 already.

first message on the internet and the internet started trolling... LO.. (L?) :D

This is exactly what I plan to do with my old PDP, VAX, HP1000 etc... which do not have any Ethernet whatsoever. A Raspberry PI will serve as IMP ;-)

amazing video! thanks

I teared up

This was the amazing back in those days, I remember it like yesterday. I still wish it never went commercial but was still only available to Academics. The Zeros and Ones was the logic of all communications. Young people these days dont understand how comms originated.

See again today is a wonderful thing

Beautiful! 😊

Incredible!!

The cost of just owning a pc and the space requirement was far above what your average person could have and store. Not to mention they would have had to learn to code, maintain and fix/debug all the equipment. imagine your electric bill if the router alone is the size of a refrigerator.

No, it was PDP it probably had UNIX shell.

I wish they taught us these things at school

Impresionante, oirlo de uno de sus creadores

que simpatico los "log", increible que el esquema es el mismo, solo mas veloz.

Happy Birthday, "my friend!"....5*

Yes, the internet is my friend too. ---------Ellen

and now Skynet knows where to send the terminators back in time...Thanks a lot!

LEGEND!

So if they tried typing in LOG again it would've spelled LOL

Brilliant!

Wow what a Genius!!!..But the squeaking of those markers on that board Is killin me Dude!!

niceeee

the ending is funny! thx!

Wow 😯

You have the first "LO" message and then a crash, but I want to know: what was the first productive task carried out over this connection. (ex. the first(ish) task executed on a remote machine over the network) Maybe this will never be answered

Made history...

without him... there would be no internet... no youtube... no nigahiga, Ray willia johnon... no google. no facebook... nothing!

wow i learned something today about the internet so when did u get your first virus

The Squeaky Marker make me want to blow up the internet

First Connection, first Word and Instant Crash. Sounds like Windows.

where is eggert?

good.......

The real inventor of the internet not Al Gore today is the 40th birthday of the internet.

Ver La primera conexión del nacimiento de internet explicada por su propio creador! maravilloso! Visto por recomendación de mi curso en @idesweb.es

but why it took allmost 30 years untill the conaummer finaly had internet?

hey i met this guy he said the same thing

some years later

👍👍👍👍👍

his son is my teacher. his name is martin kleirock!!!!! holy shit

4:02, "No, I got an L."

They had omegle back then?? HOLY SHIT!

Is boxa888 telling the truth or is he not?

cool, but I still dont know how they created the ability to connect. I just see it as Magic.

Yeah I'm sure many people could care less about getting a billion dollars. More likely, this was considered a theoretical academic project and they never conceived of a commercial implementation, since that was far away. (PS- yeah we all hate "microshit" for giving us the first commercial web browser. The internet should have stopped at ARPANET (rolls eyes).)

Cool shit.

please subtitules in spanish

Quick question for all of you know it alls out there. And no bullshit answers please. Who among you knew anything about the Internet in 1980? I know I sure as hell didn't.

Well. Can i sell that Log File? :D

one has to type in WHOOPS!!!

Who’s here from ray William Johnson

LO..

LO LOgraron

So, what was Al Gore's job? (Sorry, I was just itching to make an Al Gore joke.)

So it's all your fault!

If I had a time machine I would go back and prevent this from happening

Another Jewish contribution, what else is new?
