In the beginning Kibo greped the LAN and the Internet. And the Internet was without form, and void; and randomness was upon the face of computing. And the Spirit of ARPA moved upon the face of the computers. And the Military-Industrial Complex said, Let there be data: and there was data. And Kibo saw the data, that it was good: and Kibo divided the data from the randomness. And Kibo called the data Information, and the randomness he called Clueless. And the Information and the Clueless were the first Network.
And Kibo said, Let there be a Server in the midst of the computers, and let it divide the computers from the computers. And Kibo made the Server, and divided the computers which were under the Server from the computers which were above the Server: and it was so. And Kibo called the Server LAN. And the Information and the Clueless were the second Network.
And Kibo said, Let the computers under the LAN be gathered together unto one internetwork, and let the protocol suite appear: and it was so. And Kibo called the protocol suite Internet; and the gathering together of the computers called he Web and Kibo saw that it was good. And Kibo said, Let the Internet bring forth programs, the server yielding records, and the corporate database yielding reports after his kind, whose records is in itself, upon the Internet: and it was so. And the Internet brought forth programs, and server yielding records after his kind, and the database yielding reports, whose records was in itself, after his kind: and Kibo saw that it was good. And the Information and the Clueless were the third Network.
And Kibo said, Let there be routers in the Server of the LAN to divide the Information from the Clueless; and let them be for Novell, and for Microsoft, and for Cisco, and Synoptix: And let them be for routers in the Server of the LAN to give data upon the Internet: and it was so. And Kibo made two great backbones; the greater data to rule the Information, and the lesser data to rule the Clueless: he made the daemons also. And Kibo set them in the Server of the LAN to give data upon the Internet, And to rule over the Information and over the Clueless, and to divide the data from the randomness: and Kibo saw that it was good. And the Information and the Clueless were the fourth Network.
hello guys,
i saw this excerpt on the net (

And Kibo said, Let the computers bring forth abundantly the moving packet that hath life, and TCP that may fragment above the Internet in the open Server of LAN. And Kibo created great ICMP, and every living packet that moveth, which the computers brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every specialized UDP after his kind: and Kibo saw that it was good. And Kibo blessed them, saying, Be corporateful, and multiply, and fill the computers in the Web, and let TCP multiply in the Internet. And the Information and the Clueless were the fifth Network.
And Kibo said, Let the Internet bring forth the living packet after his kind, UDP, and ARP thing, and DNS of the Internet after his kind: and it was so. And Kibo made the DNS of the Internet after his kind, and UDP after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the Internet after his kind: and Kibo saw that it was good.
And Kibo said, Let us make nerds in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the data of the database, and over the TCP of the IP, and over the UDP, and over all the Internet, and over every ARP thing that creepeth upon the Internet. So Kibo created nerds in his own image, in the image of Kibo created he him; fragmented and unfragmented created he them. And Kibo blessed them, and Kibo said unto them, Be corporateful, and multiply, and replenish the Internet, and subdue it: and have dominion over the data of the database, and over the TCP of the IP, and over every living thing that moveth upon the Internet.
And Kibo said, Behold, I have given you every server bearing records, which is upon the face of all the Internet, and every database, in the which is the corporate of a database yielding records; to you it shall be for meat. And to everyDNS of the Internet, and to every TCP of the IP, and to every thing that creepeth upon the Internet, wherein there is life, I have given every green server for meat: and it was so. And Kibo saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the Information and the Clueless were the sixth Network.
This is not, really, the true history. If you thought it was, I'm sorry but you need professional help even more than I do. There's a Real History Of the Internet available at the ISOC website. Another good place to start is Steven Segaller's book Nerds 2.0.1: A Brief History of the Internet which you can order online from Amazon.com.
In additon, this essay was included on page 339 in the book Newsgroups: Weltweit diskutieren by Elmar K. Bins and Boris Piwinger, which you can order online from Amazon.DE.
