You know boys and girls, an ellipsis or a comma, placed in exactly the right spot, can have a tremendous impact on language. Like so:

I was a mere 15 then. First handjob... from a girl. Woodstock. Fun.

Fun with punctuation!!!

Then, you'd be wrong as usual.

ARAPNET was started in 1969 and that's where the INTERWEBZ came from.

They date this to 1963, but it was "created" in 1969 functionally.

PWNED

The ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) created by ARPA of the United States Department of Defense during the Cold War, was the world's first operational packet switching network, and the predecessor of the global Internet.
Packet switching, now the dominant basis for both data and voice communication worldwide, was a new and important concept in data communications. Previously, data communication was based on the idea of circuit switching, as in the old typical telephone circuit, where a dedicated circuit is tied up for the duration of the call and communication is only possible with the single party on the other end of the circuit.
With packet switching, a system could use one communication link to communicate with more than one machine by disassembling data into datagrams, then gather these as packets. Not only could the link be shared (much as a single post box can be used to post letters to different destinations), but each packet could be routed independently of other packets.
A form of packet switching designed by Lincoln Laboratory scientist Lawrence Roberts underlay the design of ARPANET.[1]

Hmmm PREDECESSOR would indicate they're not QUITE the same thing.

Is two cans tied together with a string a cell phone?

Is that old 13 inch black and white TV we all seem to have grown up with the same as a HD flatscreen?

The first permanent ARPANET link was established on November 21, 1969, between the IMP at UCLA and the IMP at SRI. By December 5, 1969, the entire 4-node network was connected. When this happened, multiple thousands of connections were opened, beyond the amount of people at the time who could possibly connect. There is currently no official explanation for this anomaly.

Thousands. Compared to what now? Millions? Billions? Is a horse drawn carriage the same as a Ferrari?

Go back to spamming, you have no idea what you're babbling about.

The contents of the first e-mail transmission (sent in 1971) have long since been forgotten; in a FAQ on his website, the sender, Ray Tomlinson (who sent the message between two computers located side-by-side) claims that the contents were 'entirely forgettable, and I have, therefore, forgotten them', and speculates that the message was most likely 'QWERTYUIOP' or something similar.[6]

High tech shit!
