  • Although the origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States government in the 1960’s, the date April 7th in 1969 is declared as the date of birth of the Internet. The United States government had started first research efforts in the 1960’s to build “robust and fault-tolerant communication via computer networks“. And as a result, first Request For Comment (RFC) documents were published on April 7, 1969. Hence this specific date April 7, 1969, is regarded as the date when Internet was born......and our world was never the same again afterwards!
    Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate
  • Séances date back to the 1800s after three sisters by the name of Fox claimed to be able to contact the dead. They toured America with their demonstrations and attracted the rich and famous and by the end of the century séances had taken off all over the western world. Spirits were manifested, tambourines flew, ectoplasm impossibly erupted from entranced mediums. Then, after forty years of this, rather embarrassed by what they’d started, one of the sisters, Margaret Fox, confessed that they were frauds. The miracles which had started it all off had been a scam. But her confession made very little difference and spiritualism continues to appeal to many people today.
