National Internet Day Cards

Observed on October 29 in the United States, National Internet Day commemorates the first successful message sent over the ARPANET on October 29, 1969, between UCLA and the Stanford Research Institute — a milestone in the technical origins of the modern Internet. The day highlights the history and development of networking technology (famously beginning with the partial message “LO” during an attempted “LOGIN”), celebrates the internet’s impact on communication, commerce, education and culture, and encourages reflection on digital access, literacy, and responsible online use.
