I disagree. There were well-performing, secure networks before Internet. The Internet was created (by the Government) to facilitate interoperability and the exchange of information. With out that being paramount, there is no point. The connected networks that make up the Internet can still be private, well-performing and as secure as they want to be*. That's never changed.

*Or at least to the extent that security is possible if you want to be connected to anything.

It wasn't created for that at all. It was created to provide a self-rerouting network for military command and control computers in the event of a nuclear attack. Its civilian uses were merely coincidental.

I'm totally open to debate of the point, and I hate citing Wikipedia as a source, but for convenience and to not to derail the thread too much:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET...f_design_goals

"Charles Herzfeld, ARPA Director (1965–1967), said:
The ARPANET was not started to create a Command and Control System that would survive a nuclear attack, as many now claim. To build such a system was, clearly, a major military need, but it was not ARPA's mission to do this; in fact, we would have been severely criticized had we tried. Rather, the ARPANET came out of our frustration that there were only a limited number of large, powerful research computers in the country, and that many research investigators, who should have access to them, were geographically separated from them.[13]"

I stand by my position.

No, I stand corrected. Thank you for the information!
