the internet was called DARPA back in the day and it for government/instituional research only.
Not many people had access to it until the early 90's. It was planned properly but not for the massive flood of
internet traffic we have today.

There's some great stuff in that article. This is probably my favorite:

And the private sector created the phone system that made the Internet happen. Putz.

And "The Internet" is one of the most poorly designed and implemented projects I have ever seen. Sure, packet switching is nice but other than that it's a minefield. Al Gore can have credit for creating it. It's a mess.

Be careful if you read the entire thing. It's just socialist BS.
