I thought it was interesting that there were 5 original super computers that got the internet started. Also, that Al Gore was not mentioned at all in the history, since he said that he created the internet.

Mosaic is an internet browser, whose creator eventually started Netscape.

I think Marc Andreeson called it Mosaic because it consisted of many different webpages.

I thought it was interesting how the internet started with just 2 computers and over a few decades has grown to billions of computers. I believe it is also important to note that the first packet switching network was created by the DoD.

I thought it was intresting how the backbone of the internet has changed over the past years.

For me the most interesting thing was the part about Netscape and how they believed that Andreessen would be one of the richest men in the world even though he probably is very wealthy but it just shows that not everything turns out the way people think it will.

I thought it was interesting that no president sent an e-mail till the 1990s.
