@aka_pugs care to add alt? - A commemorative plaque titled "IEEE MILESTONE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTING" dated "October 2009". The plaque reads: "Birthplace of the Internet, 1969. At 10:30 p.m., 29 October 1969, the first ARPANET message was sent from this UCLA site to the Stanford Research Institute. Based on packet switching and dynamic resource allocation, the sharing of information digitally from this first node of ARPANET launched the Internet revolution." IEEE Logo bottom right

@aka_pugs At that time and date I could have been working in the next room over.

Is there a matching plaque at SRI?

@aka_pugs

Um... surely the birth date of the Internet was when the SECOND node of ARPANET was booted-up and the message received?

🤔

@aka_pugs imagine what a truly impressive specimen of turbo nerd you'd have to be to talk about "packet switching and dynamic resource allocation" IN 1969!
