A Short History of Computing and the Internet

As the title said, this lecture introduced the history of the computing and internet.
Even we use computer and internet everyday, but before the lecture, I still have no idea about the notion of computer, the notion of internet and the notion of the relations between computer and internet.
There is a saying in the lecture ‘It is important to understand that the internet is not the same thing as the web.’ Give me a deep impression. When I started use the computer search the internet, I deem that ‘web=internet, internet=web’. Form this lecture I realize that web just a little part of internet!!
