'On October 29, 1969, a graduate student in a UCLA computer science
lab logged into a computer hundreds of miles away at the Stanford
Research Institute. It was the first connection via ARPANET, which --
after 20 years as a government and academic network -- evolved into
the modern internet. Over at Fast Company, Mark Sullivan marked the
anniversary by visiting the room where the historic login took place
and talking to three of the people who made it happen.'
