How old is the Internet?

The Internet is 35 years old. J.C.R. Licklider of the Massachusetts of Technology first proposed a global network of computers in 1962, and moved to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop it. Leonard Kleinrock developed the theory of packet switching, the basis of Internet connections. On September 2, 1969, Stephen Crocker and Vinton Cerf, two graduate students at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), linked two large computers using a 15-foot cable and tested a new way to exchange data. In January, three other "nodes" were added to this network. The earliest idea of a computer network intended to allow general communication between users of various computers was the ARPANET, the world's first packet switching network.

How did the expression 'an albatross around one's neck' originate?

The origin of the term lies in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s classic ballad, ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’. It means to carry the burden of guilt. In the poem, the mariner’s ship gets stuck in ice at the South Pole.

At that juncture, an albatross flies over the ship and eventually guides the sailors to safe waters. But once they are safe, the mariner impulsively shoots down the divine bird with his arrow.

Soon after this, the ship stalls again, a heat wave occurs and the sailors are starved of water. The sailors then hang the dead albatross around the mariner’s neck to remind him of his criminal deed.
