What hath God wrought.....

When Samuel Morse sent the first telegraph message in 1844, he had an eye for drama, tapping out "What hath God wrought" on a line from Washington, DC to Baltimore, Maryland, US.

On 29 October 1969, two scientists established a connection between computers some 350 miles away and started typing a message. Halfway through, it crashed.

In hindsight, what hath God wrought, might have been an appropriate opening message for those guys as well.

A story of how the internet started:
