I know about ARPAnet and DARPA. It's just that I don't think of this amazing vehicle for information transmission as being referred to as the "internet" until the early nineties. The WWW project wasn't conceived until 1989. But, this wouldn't be the first time I strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel. Personally, I resisted until 1995, but was finally assimilated. Haven't been the same since! Thanks for the explanation Dave.

It was crude, and to send a message from one person to another required you knowing all the intermediate hops, so an email address might look like ihnp4!ihnp7!wriggle!hop!hprnd3!smitty Things improved when "@" routing was brought online. But, yeah, it was around in 1980. Even if you weren't. :-) Actually, Paul, it was barely a dirt road: there was an “ARPAnet” run by a group funded through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), but most of what we used were computer-to-computer modem connections in a complex web called UUCP (Unix to Unix Copy).

Was there really an internet in 1980? I don't think Al Gore had invented it yet! Let’s be honest. Was there really an internet in 1980? I don’t think Al Gore had invented it yet!
