       in the the book “Where The Wizards Stay Up Late” on the origin of the Internet (p72) several computer scientists from East and West coast met in 1967 to discuss connecting multiple computers across the states. Most of them were skeptical and their reasoning is funny once you consider the Internet we know today.  One said “what have you got on your computer that I could use?”  Another:  “why would I need any I need anyone else’s computer when I’ve got everything right here?” #historyoftheweb
