Re: Irritating TV Adverts

The Most important Invention of the 21st Century Advert, Ad - confused.com - Video Clip

This advert irritates the socks off me, not just because it's annoying but because it isn't accurate.

The internet isn't an invention of the 21st Century, it is an invention of the 20th Century and has been with us from it's infancy in 1969 through to what now exists.

Oct 29, 1969: Message sent from computer to computer in different locations.

1971: The first email was sent.

Jan 1, 1983: ARPANET adopted the standard TCP/IP protocol.

March 1989: Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web.

April 22, 1993: Mosaic became the first web browser.
