I would also add Doug Engelbart's 1968 "Mother of all Demo." From: http://sloan.stanford.edu/mousesite/1968Demo.html In this segment Doug outlines the participation of ARC in the planned ARPA computer network to be established within the next year (1969), in which 20 different computer sites across the country will be connected in a network. Doug muses that with the planned band width of 20KB per second and delay times with less than one-tenth of a second, he might be able to show the present demo again next year from Boston. In this segment Doug explains how NLS will be used as the infrastructure for ARPA networks experiment in creating the Network Information Center. Individuals and groups in the Network can query "Who's got what services?" NLS provides the tools to connect different users to appropriate technology. This is an example of enhancing group productivity and augmenting human intellect. _____ Richard B.

Jeremy: Very nice. An Excellent start on the timeline. I note the absence of ENIAC in 1946 - always deserves mention as the first all-electronic computer. Also add the Boston Computer Exchange in 1983 - the first e-commerce business (will be 25 years on March 4, 2008)

It is not perfect, but I've tried to make one myself. You can find it here: http://dev.ulb.ac.be/~jdepauw/Timeline/
It is not official, so do not use it as a trusted source, but you'll find there some clue and idea to handle with your task.
I hope it helps,

Hi All,
I'm looking for a good history timeline of the internet. I've googled
and
I find the result bad. Most of them end in the nineties and Hobbes only goes to 2004. They also seem very eclectic and too centered on the US. Do any of you know of a good timeline? What I'm specifically looking for is examples of companies buying up sites with user generated content, one example would be when google acquired the Deja archive of usenet.
Best,
Søren Mørk
