Do you mean none of them predicted the web?
We were already calling it the internet when I started college in 88 and after all, it ran on TCP/IP(the latter stands for Internet Protocol) which ARPANET adopted in 1983.
- mistrial9 8y agothis is not making the point well -- in 1988 there were multiple, competing protocols that ran over whatever the carrier medium was.. TCP/IP was nascent, and did not route as we know it today.
- diego_moita 8y ago> Do you mean none of them predicted the web? I mean the whole social, cultural and economic impact and, yes, the web is a very important part of it. But there were a few more things in that early era, besides the web (e.g.:ICQ, IRC, Napster).
