Yesterday (April 7th) was the 42nd “birthday” of the internet, the date marking the publication of the first “request for comments,” or RFC, documents that paved the way for the birth of the internet.

1969 was indeed a very memorable year in world history! Aside from the internet being ‘born’ we also witnessed the first manned moon landing and Woodstock!
