A bit of irony is that the internet was first designed as a concept for a network that might survive a nuclear attack.
Take out a few cable landings and while the L3 network might survive, most of the apps would not.

- boffinAudio 3y agoThe internet was designed for that. The web, was not. Take out a few cable landings and you'll lose a big part of the web. But the Internet will still work fine.

The Internet was designed as an academic computer network. DARPA provided funding and, yes, very early packet switch-network research was inspired by the desire to maintain communications in wartime, but the first four network nodes were Utah, USC, Stanford, and UCSB. Not NSA, CIA, Pentagon, and USNO.
