At 40, the Internet still reshaping history
by Stephen Shankland

At the time, it would have been hard to predict which of these events  
40 years ago would prove to be most momentous:

* Humans step out of a spaceship and walk on the moon.
* The Woodstock concert becomes a seminal cultural moment for the baby- 
boomer generation.
* A New York City police raid leads to the Stonewall riots and modern  
gay-rights movement.
* A handful of engineers at UCLA send some data from one computer to  
another.

You may disagree, but in my opinion, it's the last of the list: four  
decades ago today, the Internet was born.
