Sometimes it's important to take a break from JavaScript and just find out weird things about the internet. Sooo...lettuce dive in a bit. So sure, JavaScript is cool but what does it do? Well, thats a challenging thing to say with the rise of NodeJS and the developments of HTML5. For example, many will say you need JS for validating input values of a form before the data is sent to a web server, but HTML5 is also doing great work with form validation. So it would be a big rotten lie to say JS is the only way to do form validation on the world wide web and people are really leaning into shipping less JS these days so maybe it's time to dive even deeper into html form vaildation.
Anyways, weird internet things. Let's go!
- Before internet, there was ARPANET and packet switching.
- The word Internet was first used in 1974 and is short for internetwork.
- Internet used to be capitalized more, lol.
- CERN, creators of the Large Hadron Collider(LHC), is credited with the first highspeed T1 (1.5 Mbit/s) link, which connected CERN to Cornell University.
