Internet Created for Business to Make $$$ ?
"The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet." - POTUS - RF Cafe"Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet." - POTUS. Most people reading this are aware that what we now refer to as the Internet began its life as ARPANet in October of 1969. Dig this excerpt from the early ARPANet handbook in the Rules and Etiquette section: "It is considered illegal to use the ARPANet for anything which is not in direct support of Government business... Sending electronic mail over the ARPANet for commercial profit or political purposes is both anti-social and illegal." So much for the veracity of the claim.
