It was 40 years ago today that computer scientists at the University of California established a network connection between two computers, creating the very first node of what we now know as the Internet.

The Sixties were a transition period spirited by the Baby Boomers born at the end of WWII riding a wave of peace and love inherited by the Beatniks, clarified by the Hippies whose demise was celebrated in the famous Woodstock debacle of three days in the mud.

Out of the Sixties came the Yippies a radical political offshoot which morphed into the Yuppies which culminated with the Dinks–double income no children.

At the same time that freedom and love transitioned into money and greed technology had a more secretive advance. The internet initially was developed secretly over the years as a governmental tool to help control the masses but the secret leaked out.

It was prophesied thousands of years ago that when Moshiach would arrive the entire world would know at one time. Until recently people expected a miraculous event, but instead the internet was born. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor says Moshiach will arrive Behereft Ayin/In Blink of the Eye; the Cabala adds–the coming decade, beginning in a few weeks, is denoted by the letter Ayin/70 which means Eyes.
