In 1972, after the Pentagon Papers' release, a small Los Angeles institute gained the power to design and run the Internet, sparking one of the greatest information explosions in human history. From protocols enabling global communication to advancements in AI, medicine, social networks, and scientific discoveries like gravitational waves, this institute birthed transformative technologies.
It was envisioned as a haven where imagination reigned, enabling scientists and technologists to push the boundaries of innovation. Yet, none could foresee the explosive surge of human connection and the profound consequences that would ripple through society, transforming the digital landscape and our world as we knew it.
