Event 3 Birthplace of the Internet

For my third event I decided to visit the Birthplace of the Internet at UCLA Boelter Hall. I had only heard about this place recently and never knew that it was on campus even though I walk by that building every week. I actually found the visit very interesting because I got to see all of the computers used.

In this room the first message was sent on the internet to another node at Stanford University. Charley Klein sent the first message saying ARPANET, which will later be known as the Internet. It was not until recently that room 3420 in Boelter Hall became a museum.  I thought that it was very interesting to visit this room because many people do not know that this is where the first message was sent or that it even exists. 

I think that this museum relates to our class when we learned about robotics and art. We learned about many milestones that were made during the connection of robotics and art. The internet was a huge milestone for technological advancements. Although it is just a small room it is a very important part to UCLA history and the history of technology.
