Did you know the internet used to be as big and heavy as an
elephant? Grab your keyboards and join Mira and Finn on a
time-traveling adventure to the 1960s to discover how the internet
was invented! Long before Wi-Fi, smartphones, and tablets,
computers were so massive they took up entire rooms and weighed
over ten thousand pounds. But there was one huge problem: these
giant machines couldn’t even talk to each other! Discover how
scientists built a clever network called ARPANET and tried to send
the very first digital text message. Spoiler alert: the whole
system completely crashed after just two letters! You will also
learn about the brilliant British scientist Tim Berners-Lee, who
invented the World Wide Web and gave it away to the entire world
for absolutely free. Plus, find out why the very first webcam was
invented just to watch a coffee pot, and uncover the secret
underwater cables that carry the internet right past swimming
sharks and giant squids! Perfect for curious kids, this exciting
episode reveals the incredible true story behind the greatest
digital machine humans ever built!
