HISTORY IN THE MAKING 2008-2016

Good luck!

We've spent a good many years discussing politics, life, society and history. Most of all, the makers of history. The great events that changed the world - people, places, actions. Small acts have changed its hard-worn course, and effort and circumstance can make of its small actors immortal greats. In line with that sentiment, it seems pertinent now to recognize the potential of those who've made up this community for years, obvious through their contributions to the spirited debate and discussion that has proceeded here. HITM has sadly gone silent, though perhaps not lacking for things to say about making history, but rather for the realization that it is time we all commenced to do so, and make our mark.

Good luck to you all, see you in the history books!

Communism is far from perfect.

@ Rommel: So the Internet really was founded on porn?

Never trust a college professor; they're all Communists.

Actually it's half libertarian, half communist.

I myself am going to be a college professor eventually, and I'm definitely the former, not the latter.

My illiterate friend, he's a university professor, and he knows what he's talking about. It's confirmed by most of the other professionals in that faculty, and my CMM teachers.

I don't believe people that blindly :P

You should verify it instead of taking his word. Ron Paul is a doctor, and Ben Bernanke is apparently a well-educated macroeconomist from Harvard and MIT, but that doesn't stop Paul from having a much better grasp of how the U.S. economy works, even though he doesn't have the almighty piece of paper that says so.

Commercial internet then. I had a technology dean from one of the most prestigious universities in Canada, the U of Alberta, come and talk to us about it in our Multimedia class. Commercial internet was, in fact FOUNDED ON PORNOGRAPHY.

Well.... U of A isn't recognized for tehcnology, but it has some of the most advanced medical in the world, and is a primetime stop for complicated surgeries.

No it wasn't. The internet was made public by English scientists as a way to share information with each other faster.

CAN WE STAY ON TOPIC?!?!?!?!? This is about the top 10 things of each of the 10 eras! Please, get off this communistic/ponographic topic.
AND the purpose of the commerical internet, was in fact the transfer of information between researchers, not communism or pornography. The commercial point of view, was for encyclopedias, the ponography industry took was not the founding of the internet. They came up once HTTP came into play.. actually more like 2 years after. We know the one year before porno on the net as the founding year of none other than Google Inc.

Happy now? None of yas were correct, sorry to sound egotistical, I just wanted to keep the stuff on topic, if you want to continure the discussion, make a new thread.

PS I have citations for the internets purpose. If you need the websites, Ill give them to you.

COMMERCIAL INTERNET!
"There are strange things done in the midnight sun,
by the men who moil for gold; the arctic trails have their secret tales that'd make your blood run cold...
the Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see...
was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge, that I cremated Sam McGee."

Communism is far from perfect.

Communism is perfect. Except, humans aren't, so we can't have a perfect government with imperfect beings running it.
