The Dutchman Piet Beer Tema received today twenty years ago as the first non-American an e-mail via the Internet. And so it began. The world, and the Netherlands front, may this afternoon at 14.28 pm a party to celebrate.
It is exactly twenty years ago that the Netherlands became the first country outside the United States got jack on the U.S. 'Internet'.
Piet Beer Tema administrator of the Center of Mathematics & Computer Science (CWI) in Amsterdam received on that November 17, 1988 from the U.S. the first 'global' e-mail that was sent on a kind of semi-open network.
The 'Internet' was until then a purely American matter. Initially there was only Defense use, but what was also a scientific network of the National Science Foundation. Beer Tema wanted to CWI that NSFnet link on November 17 and he got permission.
Other scientific institutes in the Netherlands and Europe were joined there soon to. A few years later followed companies.
In 1993, the nuclear research institute CERN in Geneva a system that the network was much more user-friendly. Thanks to this system world-wide web consumers discovered the Web in record time as communication and inexhaustible source of information.
Beer Tema in 1988 still had to do with a transmit and receive speed of 64,000 bits per second. Meanwhile, consumer nothing more the one hundred and scientific networks may again a thousand times faster.
The man who Netherlands in 1988 helped to the Internet, two years earlier had already realized that clear web addresses were needed. In 1986 he was therefore all the domain name. Com registration.
Beer Tema is retired in 2004, but he celebrates on the Internet today via YouTube into the party.
