CommentsThe Explainist blog pointed me to this awesome video that tracks the evolution of the web from the very beginning.
History of the Internet from PICOL on Vimeo.
I'm inspired by some of the iconography, which is one of the goals of PICOL. From the PICOL web site :
PICOL is an project for providing free and open icons for electronic devices. The aim is to find a common pictorial language for electronic communication.
Bonus video: The Drawn! blog pointed me to these neat little ThumbCinema Flipbooks by Fernanda Flick of Chile. Find them on Etsy.com.

the network survivability during a nuclear war myth
That's a very well done video on the history of the Internet. I don't recall ever seeing one with such details before. The only mistake I noticed is one of the most popular myths around: ARPANET/TCP-IP was not architected to survive a nuclear war, although that is an added benefit. The architecture was designed as it was because the hardware at that time was inherently unreliable. If packets couldn't dynamically route around a node that was down then it would never work.

Also, the book: 'Where Wizards Stay Up Late' is about the early development of the Internet. You can even find out what the Internet and Soap Operas have in common. :)
