Today Is...Internet's Precursor Invented

In today's digital age, it's difficult to imagine life without the internet. From shopping online to connecting on social media, the internet has transformed our lives in many ways and it all began with a research project by the U.S. Department of Defense known as ARPANET and an Austrian actress married to a Nazi arms dealer.
The Department of Defense realised the need for a communication system that could function even if some parts of the network were damaged or destroyed so computers in different locations could contnue to communicate which led to the development of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET).
The first message sent was 'LOGIN'and other research institutions and government agencies created their own networks and connected to the network, communicating through electronic mail and remote login, using the newly-developed system.
The protocols developed for ARPANET formed the basis for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) using the idea dreamt up by actress Hedy Lemarr's who came up with the invention of a frequency hopping spread spectrum which she developed during WW2 and tried to hand it to the NAZI's who's tornadoes kept getting jammed by radio-waves but they smiled politely and told her not to worry her pretty little head over such things.
Rebuffed, instead she went to the U.S. Navy with her technology but they also just smiled politely and suggested instead her services would be better used just looking pretty as a pin-up girl to support the troops overseas.
While there were many important people and developments that paved the way for the modern internet, Hedy Lemarr and ARPANET was instrumental in the very early stages and allow men to look at porn sites on Public Transport today.
