Why building the internet was almost technically impossible
Original: Why the technology to build the internet was almost impossible
A new explorer of the internet's origins is drawing millions of views, arguing that the underlying technology came close to being unbuildable. It recounts how researchers had to solve problems in packet switching, networking protocols and long-distance data transmission that many thought infeasible at the time, before the modern internet could emerge from early research networks.
Why now: People are fascinated by near-impossible engineering milestones behind everyday technology like the internet.
