The Daemon, the GNU and the Penguin, ch. 25, by Dr. Peter H. Salus (Groklaw)
Groklaw presents
Chapter 25 of Peter Salus' online book, "The Daemon, the GNU and the
Penguin", titled "The URL on Your Cereal Box".
"In Chapter 17, I limned the creation and development of the Web. In a subsequent chapter, I'll talk about the geographical spread of Linux. But first, I want to look at the spread of the Internet and the Web that depends on it.
The ARPAnet became functional in 1969: at the end of that year, there were four nodes. In January 1976, there were 63 (so much for 5- or 6-bit addressing). Five years later, in August 1981, Host Table #152 listed 213 hosts. In May 1982, Host Table #166 listed 235."
