Digital Streaming far beyond ZOO TV

http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/17-10/ff_netflix

Netflix didn't start to provide a streaming_service until 2007. Of course once there is enough bandwidth then it becomes, Internet TV.


U2 released their album, Achtung_Baby in November 1991.

The song, Even_Better_Than_the_Real_Thing was released in June 1992.

The Even_Better_Than_the_Real_Thing#Music_video in February 1992 was a depiction of future digital Zoo of TV and data-streaming on a mass scale. As well as the looming VR Matrix of entertainment and reality.


"Rehearsals for the tour began in December 1991 at The Factory in Dublin."

History of the Internet

===============================

By Christopher Null

{Forty years ago today, the first two computers on the ARPAnet -- the military-run precursor to the Internet we know today -- were connected to each each other, creating the first link in what would arguably become the most important technological advance in history.
It would be several months before enough computers were added to the network to make it useful and for messages to start flowing among them, but September 2, 1969, is generally considered one of the defining dates in the Internet's protracted birth.
Within a year, the network would expand from a few west coast colleges to the eastern seaboard, and by the mid-'70s the network had gone international, with satellite links to Europe and dozens of computers connected to the new grid. (See the photo above for what things looked like in 1977.) And with email (1971) and file transfer (1973) features added to the system, it actually became useful for getting actual work and communications done.
By 1983, the ARPAnet shifted to a new architecture for data transmission, the one which is still in use today. By 1988, everything made another huge change, as commercial interests were allowed to piggyback on what had formerly been a government- and education-only network. Called "Internet Commercial" for a short time before becoming just "The Internet," I vividly remember my COBOL professor back in the day just gushing over what possibilities would be opened up when that happened, and he was right. Once the World Wide Web got started, along with the Mosaic web browser, the net as you and I know it really got kicking.
But the wild world of Yahoo!, YouTube, Google, and ICanHasCheezburger all started with that humble connection 40 years ago, a wire hooking two computers in different locations together and scientists figuring out a way to make them do something useful together instead of on their own, as had long been the usual way things were done.
Happy birthday, Internet!}

The AI Global Data SYSTEM...

History of a unique Search_engine with several Special_features.
Google continues to be one of the worlds most SUCCE$$FUL data corporations.
-
Larry_Page was able to create an algorithm to locate & track each web page within & beyond each website. Who else but someone named Larry would have created the PageRank? The business of information gathering & data mining has been around in one for or another for quite a while. There are always concerns that when tremendous pools of data are collected, who all can gain access to it? And for what reason or purpose? Also lots of websites & blogs just like to provide links to various sites for reference. The search engines are always in the background recording everything on line. Eventually there will be A.I. search engines that can link up to any computer or robot that's receiving data from the Web.
Glen_A._Larson provided an interesting depiction of what a future personal A.I. search engine might be like way back in 1982. By 2012 the concept of people having a personal computer is as commonplace as having their personal car. Indeed, some folks have more than one of each. But the A.I. KITT that was depicted in 1982 is still a ways off from 2012. KITT like HAL was basically an A.I. on board_computer for the ship or vehicle. However, a computer for the whole ship in effect, makes the vehicle the equivalent of a robotic vessel. So eventually a lot of people might have their own A.I. Web_browser that talks to them, through their phone, computer & car, if you have the money to buy those toys.

Of course there are several ancient forms of recording data as well.
There is even the ancient concept of the Akashic Record (AR) of everything. Eventually quantum supercomputers with holographic-data-storage & memory-crystals will essentially be able to record everything on earth. Combine that with all the databases & VR programs & you start to realize that modern technology is trying to mimic the AR. However, the concept of the AR is beyond things like greed & war & the suppression of true knowledge. Any advanced VR program can be run by any corporation or government with its own agenda. So unless people can truly be allowed to openly share & compare information, someone with their own agenda can still control things to their own advantage.
