Cold War military thinking also gave us one of the greatest innovations from the 1960's. The Defense Department created the concept of the ARPAnet (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) in the late 1960's as a way of enabling electronic communications even if parts of the national telecommunications network were disabled or destroyed. The ARPAnet concepts were refined in the 1970's to create the framework of today's Internet. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 11:08, 3 December 2008 (EST)

==Neil Armstrong==
''On July 20, 1969, a simulated broadcast of American Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the Moon was broadcast to a record television audience, with Armstrong's words, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."[2]''<br> I wasn't quite sure what you meant by "simulated broadcast"? I looked at the reference but I couldn't find anything about the broadcast, except that it said "People around the world watched and listened as Neil slowly climbed down the ladder of the lunar lander." Did you mean "simulcast"? Thanks, and sorry in advance if this is another "blonde moment" on my part. I have a cold so I'm not thinking at 100% at the moment. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 11:34, 3 December 2008 (EST)
