What if … we hadn’t invented the internet?
For thousands of years, the man has been interested in transfer the knowledge from one
generation to another. The ancient American natives, for example, have been developed
by oral form as occurred in our territory of Colombia. Also, the knowledge has been
transferred by writing way with the books and has been saved through libraries. However,
the first and second explosion of all kind of knowledge of the humans had origin with
something called internet.

The internet was created in the mid-20th century, exactly in the year 1969 in United
States with the defense department and the program ARPANET, a net of computers that
that during the cold war his objective was protect the army communications against their
enemy. But what could happen if never they had created from the cold war the
computers?

It is not quite probable that the world would have developed rapidly the transfer of
information and knowledge until 21st century without this military invent. Perhaps, we
would not have been able to travel to space or would have provided many invents as we
currently know them. The James web telescope would never be in the space and we could
ignore the countless of possible galaxies in the universe.

One thing is for sure: without internet, many things that we know now would be very
different.
