Muddiest Point about Internet History
The most confusing bit of information for me was the fact that the idea for a network sch as the WWW existed as early as the 1950s as a means for communication between major cities. If such an idea has been in development since that early on, why did Bill Gates originally think that the public would not strive towards the internet? Unfortunately, I do not have the citation for his claim. It seems as though our social emphasis on the WWW was visible even from an early point. (The next sentence is my muddiest point condensed) To summarize it all, why didn't everyone see the rise of internet usage coming from a long way away?
