Tomorrow April 7th 1969 the first “request for comment” or RFC was published. An RFC is a template or road map that helped to pave the way for the creation of the Internet. Here is a link to the original document, it was written by Steve Crocker who has worked can continued to work on the Internet after all these years.
It’s not about what was said but the RFC process that he developed created a way for engineers to share new ideas in a public forum. Without RFC’s the Internet would not be as open and available as we know if today.
Well Happy Birthday to the Internet, Happy Birthday to You.
