If I remember correctly, Firefox was not a rebranding of Netscape. Rather, it was an different browser made by Netscape employees who left the company to start Mozilla. Great video, learned something new!
Mozilla Suite (including and email client and browser) was released after the Netscape code was open sourced. Firefox was not originally made by the Mozilla Foundation. It was a private code fork of Mozilla intended to be much faster and less bloated. I started using it when it was called Phoenix browser. This was then changed to Firebird and finally Firefox. It attracted users at such a speed that eventually Mozilla Foundation adopted it.
This is one of my favorite real life history stories, as someone who grew up on the internet it's always been so fascinating to me, although I'd admit that fascination has died in the last decade. Because of that it's always great as well to hear it again, and you did a great job as per usual in both your coverage and editing that I feel like I could share to people since it's not heavy into the complicated details. Thanks NationSquid.
I feel the same. As a 90s kid, I have memories of being so fascinated, and stimulated, by the influx of information and images/video made available. I learned html and css coding because I was obsessed with making websites just for the sake of it. Not so much nowadays, but it's been amazing to gain more insight on the internet phenomenon
@@Disco4ia It's definitely had a lot of impact on my interests as well, I started out just messing with HTML and CSS but it evolved into my love for personal computing and technology in general. I'll be getting my associates in a comp sci course and plan on working for other certifications as well in the next coming years.
The reason the internet isnt interesting anymore is that is there isnt any more innovation because we have a system that works as well as it will ever get
Simplified yet true to its original history. Well scripted and paced. Video editing is good too. I'm going to share this to a bunch of my peers! Keep going.
I wish we had a president who was capable of that. Instead we have an entire government of 80 year olds who dont even use the internet. Especially not our last two presidents lol

@@Trollleben i mean consider that we did programming, only high school cared about the history of it itself, the teaching was good, they just thought it was not important to mention the origin itself but just how it works and what to make on it in uni, in high school a little bit of mention but just a few times just for curiosity
What an amazing documentary. I'm a technology engineer student and this stuff fascinates me. Also my monke brain thinks, internet is just phones 2.0. crazy to think how much information the CIA and other governments sent 'over the wire' and then later how much of a huge backend the actual internet has
As someone who was born in 1971. It's been interesting to experience the real time development of the INTERNET. From not really understanding or appreciating the potential, to fascination, slow integration, access to endless amounts of knowledge, the promise of a united world, and now the destruction of individual liberties and lives. 😢
I was born in 1970, i remember being in a pub talking to a friend who was really into computers and asking him what the internet was. I'd had a computer (Sinclair Spectrum) for years but i kept hearing people talking about the internet and couldn't work out what it was for, lol.
@@NightCloudI nothing wrong with the comment, it's an obvious joke. As another introvert, I do get annoyed when people say the Internet made us isolated. No it hasn't. I've met most of my closest friends on the Internet.

Again, great video as always, you just keep outdoing yourself!! I love that you have a turntable as well, I never knew you were into records!
Awesome content as usual man! This taught me SO much about the internet and your voice and style of narration and editing is super engaging and mesmerizing, along with the little jokes you throw in throughout your videos! You’re my favorite channel and I’m glad you’ve been uploading more lately :)
18:46 internet service providers (ISP) did not charge long distance fees for accessing websites on the other side of the world. The video says that with a world spanning network, charging people long distance became a turn-off because you couldn't tell where a server was and would suddenly be hit with long distance charges until AOL came around and offered a fixed monthly fee. That's not what I recall at all. What I recall is that we were charged per minute of connection. This sounds like long distance charges, but is not. You were simply charged whenever you were connected, even if you weren't downloading anything but preparing and email to be sent. And eventually it moved to a fixed rate for unlimited access. I think the script took what we all know of long distance charges now (and then), and got confused when they heard of pay by the minute charges and wild internet bills. But it had nothing to do with the location of the server. Only your connection time. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything like that. If anyone can confirm that any ISPs ever did this, that would be great. I certainly don't recall ever hearing this when I had dial-up internet in the 90s as a teen, but I do recall the unlimited use being a promotional point for ISPs.
What I got from the sentence is what other people (general public) assumed and didn't understand - as they were used to only how phones work. You tell somebody in 1991 that you can "use your phone to connect to somebody across the world", they would assume you would be charged for long distance. When AOL came in with its massive marketing campaign, they took advantage of this confusion, but also improved the billing system to be cheaper (assuming you use it enough) and easily understood. I have faint memories of the early days of AOL (as in, I remember a time before people got AOL despite it being around at the time). My family was already using AOL and had been long before anybody else I knew (my dad used to code games and programmes so he was tech savvy at the time). I remember that we'd call my aunt in the evenings after a specific time because it was cheaper due to the package we had. One of my friends had only DOS on her family's computer for a long time and no internet. Another who was more well off got AOL before others. I do remember adult discussions of how it worked / how it charged etc - just like how I know it was cheaper to call my aunt after a specific time. I was very young at the time so I can't recall much other than the vague understanding that most people didn't understand the billing system outside of AOL. I suppose it's like using data on pay-as-you go and being charged so much per X MB of data. You just have no concept of how much it will charge you until you check your balance (or in their case, the monthly phone bill) I also remember the big ass beige boxes in the darkest corner of pubs where you'd put in a £2 coin to use it for 10 minutes lol
The high bill came from the fact that they charged you for usage by the hour but eventually went to an unlimited plan. The only long distance charge may have been if you used a local access number from a different location. Also Service providers such as AOL and Compuserve didn't originally provide internet service, they provided a connection to their private network. They also didn't use a web browser, they used proprietary software.
This has to be one of your best videos yet! I have kind of dug into this topic in the past but really came out more confused. Growing up I didn't really question what internet was or how it came to be. Actually funny enough I remember when we got our first pc we referred to it as "the internet." We didn't use it for much else at the time.

Just so you lnow Al Gore never ever once said that he invented the internet. He said exactly "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system." By that he meant legislation for the internet. Which is 100 percent true.
Hedi Lamar was a brilliant engineer, but didn't invented CDMA or WiFi. She invented what was called frequency hopping communication. The patent specifies using it to control torpedoes or drones (I really can't remember). This was used for a long time after, like in radars. But CDMA although is a broad spectrum system has nothing to do with it and WiFi can change channels but just sometimes for avoiding interference, so is not a frequency hopping system.
@@Jakeywakeyblitiz Not even close of her ideas frequency hoping is completelly different from spread spectrum and specifically CDMA mode of spread spectrum that uses orthogonal codes to transmit several channels over the same band. Those are completelly unrelated things. CDMA idea is based in abstract vector spaces.
@@Jakeywakeyblitiz What she invented has no relation whatsoever with WiFi and CDMA. Anyone the knows exactly how they work and how historically they were created knows that. She was a brilliant engineer so there is no necessity to tell this legend to praise her. It is another imprecise, false bullshit perpetuated by the Internet where the burden of proof is zero.
20:40 Heidi Lamarr did not give the inspiration for Wi-Fi, she gave the inspiration for spread spectrum frequency hopping. Wi-Fi standards do not employ frequency hopping. Frequency hopping is a method used to combat jamming, a problem which is not an issue in most generic scenarios such as with the Internet and regular Wi-Fi applications. Frequency Hopping is mostly found in military contexts or places where anti-jam is highly important.
9:41 I believe this idea of splitting the paths of the information packets was really about making sure that in a retaliatory nuclear strike, our command and control could communicate even if many facilities had already been obliterated… the launch codes could make it through an already damaged network.
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system." - Al Gore. I like Gore and think he did a lot of good things like help more people access it, but he completely overstated his role in the creation of the Internet. How can one take "I took the initiative in creating the Internet" as anything but claiming something he didnt do? The Internet's creation took place well before he ever held any office. I have used the Internet since the early 80s. Well before the web. Thank god people have made documentaries about the real engineers who created the Internet. They spent decades doing the real work. Why didnt Al Gore acknowledge them?
This video gave such a great recap/overview of what I studied in my networking courses 💕 The internet is so wonderful and complex, still hard to wrap my head around haha
thanks for this helped A LOT😂💯, if college classes could teach in the form of TH-cam videos like this, I'm pretty sure more people would pass/understand the topic better but to each his own.
Well done, except that AOL did not invent monthly subscription pricing. They were one of the hold-outs, still billing based on hours of use for their not-quite-full-internet BBS. You may want to read up on Panix or other early ISPs that had been BBSes with T1 lines. I remember selecting a dial-up ISP back in 1996 because they were $19/mo instead of $20/mo, then being wicked happier when I could pay annually for the same cost as nine months of service. AOL was still charging weird rates.
What are the odds that I was just thinking of Great Gig in the Sky and you play it at 7:41 right as I’m internally listening to it. Did not except that in this video but it literally just made my day. Great content also.
The Gore Bill was a game changer over one summer I went from looking for a library book with the card catalog to using a computer. It literally saved me hours and hours of time and shortly after the internet became available at the library. There was this science fiction author I enjoyed growing up and didn't realize until 1992 that the library had three other books by him in general fiction. They are still some of my favorite horror books.
Internet Explorer didn't just replace Netscape Navigator fading it into obscurity; it was created directly from the same program called Mosaic which was also the foundation of Netscape and went on to be Firefox. Microsoft paid for the license to use Mosaic at the core of IE, and you can see that by looking at the Help About dialog in any version of IE. When Marc Andreessen was writing Mosaic at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Urbana, IL in the early 1990s before he founded Netscape, I was a student at the University of Illinois, and I lived one block away from the NCSA building where he worked. I could even see part of the building from my bedroom window; I had no idea the world was being changed right under my nose.
Imagine being one of these people that helped create the internet and coming back to see what it’s become and it’s just people sharing videos of themselves eating ass online 🤣
This video is pretty interesting thus far, but in the future maybe use some kind of deesser if you aren’t already. Or at least lower the high tones so your esses aren’t so loud as it makes it hard to listen to.
I'm not sure how well known is that ARPANET story, but I was told that tale about DARPA and interconnecting computers back in my computer science class around 2002-3, in 9th-10th grade, and I'm from El Salvador, so... it should be taught in either computer science classes or in regular history classes at this point
I think this is such a great video to explain the fundamentals of all the protocols. Great to understand the background and what lead up to what we have today.
Brilliant video brother ❤, loved it you made clear every single bit of ARPANET TO INTERNET very clear and with proper video cuts it is very much connecting and easy to remember. As you said in last You are also making the internet insanely helpful and great for people around the globe. Keep making these kinds of amazing stuff. Loved your video❣️
There are so many people here claiming they created the internet. Let me set the record straight. In spite of the fact that I wasn’t born until a few years after the world wide web came about, I most definitely created the internet. The whole thing. That's right! But in all seriousness, i had no idea of just how much of the internet’s history I’d missed. I never heard much except Russians, Arpa net and internet. So thank you for expanding my knowledge
Thanks, buddy! That was a fantastic video. It really provides a thorough snapshot of how the internet got its start. Your video will help people from generation to generation understand one of the most iconic inventions in all of human history.
for anyone interested in the shadowy origins of today’s Internet I would highly recommend reading “surveillance Valley “ by Yasha Levine . amazing book
To anyone who is interested in what he meant about the internet's two core data transmissions TCP vs UDP protocols: TCP is the one that you use when you need to transmit data and make sure that the recipient got it. When the recipient gets the packet, it sends back a response (acknowledgement) and if the sender doesn't get that, it sends it again. This is what you might use when requesting a web page and sending it back. UDP is a much quicker 'fire and forget' protocol where you send lots of data to a recipient, but with no acknowlegement because you don't care if it was received. Games use this so send players' position data over and over as you move. The recipient doesn't care if it doesn't receive some of the updates because the player has already moved anyway! TCP is reliable but slow because of the back and forth and verification process. UDP is quick.
Excellent video. Very good pace and at the right level for an average watcher. I did a presentation on this material but at a lower level a few years ago. Its eye opening how many of the early innovators / inventors were women. People don't realize that. It was also the same 150 years earlier when many of the railroad engineering patents belonged to women.

@agranero6 do you know what a idea is? What you are explaining sounds like a copycat not just a idea of radio waves for communication
@@Jakeywakeyblitiz What she invented has no relation whatsoever with WiFi and CDMA. Anyone the knows exactly how they work and how historically they were created knows that. She was a brilliant engineer so there is no necessity to tell this legend to praise her. It is another imprecise, false bullshit perpetuated by the Internet where the burden of proof is zero.
@agranero6 frequency hoping is literally wifi or the stepping stones atleast
This is criminally underrated!
20:40 Heidi Lamarr did not give the inspiration for Wi-Fi, she gave the inspiration for spread spectrum frequency hopping. Wi-Fi standards do not employ frequency hopping. Frequency hopping is a method used to combat jamming, a problem which is not an issue in most generic scenarios such as with the Internet and regular Wi-Fi applications. Frequency Hopping is mostly found in military contexts or places where anti-jam is highly important.
9:41 I believe this idea of splitting the paths of the information packets was really about making sure that in a retaliatory nuclear strike, our command and control could communicate even if many facilities had already been obliterated… the launch codes could make it through an already damaged network.
"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system." - Al Gore.
I like Gore and think he did a lot of good things like help more people access it, but he completely overstated his role in the creation of the Internet. How can one take "I took the initiative in creating the Internet" as anything but claiming something he didnt do? The Internet's creation took place well before he ever held any office.
I have used the Internet since the early 80s. Well before the web. Thank god people have made documentaries about the real engineers who created the Internet. They spent decades doing the real work. Why didnt Al Gore acknowledge them?
Wow. This is basically the entire lecture of basic computer networking in under 30 minutes. 👏
Your videos are so underrated . Loved it.
Another awesome video NationSquid. I could listen to you literally all day
if we ignore the freaky 5 and all the horror stories you've uploaded initially .. all you videos except those are very underrated
This video gave such a great recap/overview of what I studied in my networking courses 💕 The internet is so wonderful and complex, still hard to wrap my head around haha
thanks for this helped A LOT😂💯, if college classes could teach in the form of TH-cam videos like this, I'm pretty sure more people would pass/understand the topic better but to each his own.
Well done, except that AOL did not invent monthly subscription pricing. They were one of the hold-outs, still billing based on hours of use for their not-quite-full-internet BBS. You may want to read up on Panix or other early ISPs that had been BBSes with T1 lines.
I remember selecting a dial-up ISP back in 1996 because they were $19/mo instead of $20/mo, then being wicked happier when I could pay annually for the same cost as nine months of service. AOL was still charging weird rates.
What are the odds that I was just thinking of Great Gig in the Sky and you play it at 7:41 right as I’m internally listening to it. Did not except that in this video but it literally just made my day. Great content also.
Edison invented light bulb? In parallel universe maybe....
14:18
For ya'll Among Us gamers
UDP is what Among Us uses (idk if it still uses it)
Which is why you sometimes see people teleporting lol
The real creator of the internet is the friends we made along the way
The Gore Bill was a game changer over one summer I went from looking for a library book with the card catalog to using a computer. It literally saved me hours and hours of time and shortly after the internet became available at the library. There was this science fiction author I enjoyed growing up and didn't realize until 1992 that the library had three other books by him in general fiction. They are still some of my favorite horror books.
Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn’s contribution to the world cannot be overstated. They are the true fathers of the internet.
i really enjoyed this video! I've been looking for something of thing kind in a long while.
Thank to TH-cam for recommending
Imagine how amazing it must have been to be a part of creating the internet. I feel like I would love my job everyday.
To me Licklider was the "inventor", he created what would evolve into the modern internet.
But in the end is like asking who invented roads...
"I would tell you a UDP joke, but you probably wouldn't get it" ... dying.... said so straight faced people probably missed that little gem...
Internet Explorer didn't just replace Netscape Navigator fading it into obscurity; it was created directly from the same program called Mosaic which was also the foundation of Netscape and went on to be Firefox. Microsoft paid for the license to use Mosaic at the core of IE, and you can see that by looking at the Help About dialog in any version of IE.
When Marc Andreessen was writing Mosaic at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in Urbana, IL in the early 1990s before he founded Netscape, I was a student at the University of Illinois, and I lived one block away from the NCSA building where he worked. I could even see part of the building from my bedroom window; I had no idea the world was being changed right under my nose.
Fun fact: on Windows, there is still such a hosts file that you can edit
It is located at: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
It's also available in all *nix systems
This is probably one of your best videos.
Imagine being one of these people that helped create the internet and coming back to see what it’s become and it’s just people sharing videos of themselves eating ass online 🤣
This video is pretty interesting thus far, but in the future maybe use some kind of deesser if you aren’t already. Or at least lower the high tones so your esses aren’t so loud as it makes it hard to listen to.
Thanks!
wow
hearing great gig in the sky there immediately put a smile on my face.
I like this content, youve got a good neutral / relaxing voice........and the editing style doesnt have loads of kabooms, whizzbangs and wallops
Why did the video's title change? Is this the same video? I didn't get around to watching it before.
You deserve a lot more of subscribers!!
Amazing! Thank you so much for such an wonderful, informative video :)
While you talked about those things, what about HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) ?
Back in 1995 it was amazing to me that I could get in the internet with just my phone line and AOL and it only took 5 minutes to load a page. 🤯 😂
I'm not sure how well known is that ARPANET story, but I was told that tale about DARPA and interconnecting computers back in my computer science class around 2002-3, in 9th-10th grade, and I'm from El Salvador, so... it should be taught in either computer science classes or in regular history classes at this point
He responded to me in premiere chat at 0:54, 5:26, 8:56, 15:30, and 19:08! I actually can't believe I got noticed!
What a video bro, good efforts
2:00 where is Nikola Tesla bro 😮
I think this is such a great video to explain the fundamentals of all the protocols. Great to understand the background and what lead up to what we have today.
"blah blah blah blah Willy Wonka blah blah"
Me: "I UNDERSTAND THIS!"
Brilliant video brother ❤, loved it you made clear every single bit of ARPANET TO INTERNET very clear and with proper video cuts it is very much connecting and easy to remember. As you said in last
You are also making the internet insanely helpful and great for people around the globe.
Keep making these kinds of amazing stuff.
Loved your video❣️
Please tell me you're joking about Edison at the beginning of this vid.
Damn dude. Some high quality output great video.
There are so many people here claiming they created the internet. Let me set the record straight. In spite of the fact that I wasn’t born until a few years after the world wide web came about, I most definitely created the internet. The whole thing. That's right!
But in all seriousness, i had no idea of just how much of the internet’s history I’d missed. I never heard much except Russians, Arpa net and internet. So thank you for expanding my knowledge
Thanks, buddy! That was a fantastic video. It really provides a thorough snapshot of how the internet got its start. Your video will help people from generation to generation understand one of the most iconic inventions in all of human history.
Now we need how the internet was ruined
Social media
Im currently taking CompTIA courses and I really enjoy this informative and relevant content that bridges the gap between learning and leisure. Thanks
I thought it was ARPA, since ARPANET was the first iteration of the internet we know today.
Nah bruh it’s Al gore
@@sultanofsaturn Bing, bong, sing-along; your team’s Al Gore ‘cause your views are wrong
13:46 Esperanto: Hello there.
for anyone interested in the shadowy origins of today’s Internet I would highly recommend reading “surveillance Valley “ by Yasha Levine . amazing book
Awesome video and I always thought about this. Hysterical jump scare at the end also.
Al Gore may have invented it, but Timmy Turner inherited it
N Timmy Burners Launched It
@@NiteDriv3r Timmy burn these nutz
@@cdvideodump No
Thanks for posting! A little light on some details, but a great video just the same.
To anyone who is interested in what he meant about the internet's two core data transmissions TCP vs UDP protocols:
TCP is the one that you use when you need to transmit data and make sure that the recipient got it. When the recipient gets the packet, it sends back a response (acknowledgement) and if the sender doesn't get that, it sends it again. This is what you might use when requesting a web page and sending it back.
UDP is a much quicker 'fire and forget' protocol where you send lots of data to a recipient, but with no acknowlegement because you don't care if it was received. Games use this so send players' position data over and over as you move. The recipient doesn't care if it doesn't receive some of the updates because the player has already moved anyway!
TCP is reliable but slow because of the back and forth and verification process. UDP is quick.
What a great video! Very informative.
That thumbnail is a great meme
Ok
I was thinking the same thing
Excellent video. Very good pace and at the right level for an average watcher. I did a presentation on this material but at a lower level a few years ago. Its eye opening how many of the early innovators / inventors were women. People don't realize that. It was also the same 150 years earlier when many of the railroad engineering patents belonged to women.
If I remember correctly, that single statement lost the election for Al Gore.
Actually, your speech abt we communicate with each other feels inspirational. I think you're right :)
P.s. This video is cool as always!
We all know it was Al Gore, he's even said it himself in his iconic quote "I invented the Internet"
He said no such thing
@@Allen.Christian my uncle who works for Nintendo confirmed it
@@Allen.Christian He did, actually.
Simply watching the video before you stuff your foot in your mouth in the comments section is easy…see.
@@JSLeeds simply re-reading my comments before you stuff your foot in your mouth in my replies is easy...see.
For a subject so vast with information, thanks for taking the time to explain it in layman’s terms. I know you did your research 💯
Everyone invented the internet. (The good ending)
There is no good ending.
or nobody invented the internet, it was always there, we just built computers and devices to make use of it.. what about that?
