Excellent article!

I'd like to add some very interesting tidbits, follow-ups. When you look at the original ARPANET Logical Map March 1977 on Wikipedia you will see the origin node "ARPANET" has only two connections, one to the Pentagon and the other to MITRE Corporation. MITRE came from MIT.

In 1914, a merger of MIT and Harvard's Applied Science departments was formally announced. The man who financed the Internet was an *ex-Army* Jew from New York City named Arthur Rock. He financed Fairchild Semiconductor (through them IBM), Teledyne (Rockwell, Boeing), Intel, and Apple.

As well as Shockley Laboratory Division of Beckman Instruments. Shockley, of course, was one of the three people who invented the transistor.
