The Internet's Journey: Connecting Big Computers to a Connected World

The podcast discusses the evolution of the Internet from big machines in the 1960s to the connected world we know today. Initially, computers were as big as rooms and couldn't communicate with each other. However, scientists and researchers created a special language using ones and zeros that allowed computers to share information across distances. In the 1990s, the World Wide Web emerged, albeit with slow dial-up Internet. Despite the challenges, the Internet has now become an integral part of our lives, offering the ability to shop, connect with friends worldwide, and learn new skills.
