Call it the Internets, the Interwebs, the series of tubes; yep, the Internet has gone through many lovable nicknames as the years have gone by, and today we're calling it the Birthday Boy (or girl! or whatever)!
The Internet was "born" on October 29, 1969, when two computers on a college campus connected; information, music, and celebrity sex tape distribution would never be the same again.
Where would we be without it? I wouldn't be here, for one thing. Would we all have boring desk jobs where we waited for the next printed memo to come in and to get thirsty so we could have human contact at the water cooler?
Wish the Internet a happy birthday and tell me where you might be today without the Internet in the comments below!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!
1Happy Birthday, Internet! We couldn't live without you!
2I would literally be a different person if it hadn't been born.
3I think the internet is totally a chick, and thank God we have it. Being born 100+ years ago would totally suck.
I think it's remarkable the speed at which technology and science improve... I mean, we went from horses & buggies to the internet & rockets in the span of 100 years. I wonder what the world will be like for my grand children.

5Hey who knew that me and the Internet have the same birthday!
6Happy bday, pinkzvm!
7Happy Birthday Internet!! I would be so uneducated about, everything, without you!
8I would be a simple secretary on a typewriter. my entire job life (minus the wok shop in high school) has been in IT/web.
9I am an old business teacher. What I learned in college to teach future business students has totally changed due to computers and the Internet.
10Internet Rocks!
