5 out of 5 stars Great Video revealing the history of networking, internet.   October 26, 2000
Anand Alagappa (Chicago)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I belive this is one of the greatest video on the subject of internet and world wide web. It gives a clear picture of the internet and world wide web. It commends the work of great research scientists who were not recognised for their initial achievements. It gives an idea how the internet emerged and how big companies like 3com, Cisco came into existence. This is great story of all the nerds who worked hard (not for money) to achieve good things in their research. Finally I believe money is nothing and it all comes because of hardwork and luck.


4 out of 5 stars High motivation and Detail   December 29, 2000

This is a very exciting video about the origin, history, developments, success and failures of the Internet. It has good detail in the topics and companies that refers, but it does not touch every important(historical level) company in the net. Perhaps less time for "excite" and jokes, and more time to relevant companies and phenomena.


5 out of 5 stars Great Entertainment and Education   January 28, 2002

Fantastic view of a topic that has changed all of our lives. The video is very entertainig and a good source of information. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about the roots of the internet.


5 out of 5 stars The Ultimate History Lesson!   November 29, 1998
This is a must for everyone in the world to see. Not cause I'm a computer geek, but because it is both informative and entertaining. We are at the age where everyone is on the internet and out of respect for history, people should see how we got here. This should be a part of any US history lesson. Both kids and adults that don't understand computers will understand this! It also shows the ruthlessness of M$ in its beginnings.


5 out of 5 stars A must for any entrepreneur. The future is here.   December 7, 1998

To see the future we must understand and value the past. This video series tells us how the Internet revolution happened, teaches us the language of the industry, and encourages all of us who dream of making great contributions to mankind. A must see video series.


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
