Butterfly Effect: The Internet--The Origins of the Web

An electronic machine is being operated. Caption: He then sends himself the first electronic mail.

What if the source codes for the Internet had remained with the U.S. military rather than being released to the world? How did civilians gain unfettered access to the Internet? Three key events contributed to the development of this modern technology: the launch of Sputnik, the United States military conducts an ambitious project, and computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invents the web and puts the very first Internet site on line. Part of the "Butterfly Effect" series.
