Gold is a very fancy metal
i love the design of old computers. i think they are very cool

It is so fascinating how the internet transformed our lives. and it’s still not done.
Many don’t know the internet was created in the ‘70’s. So many believe it started with Bill Gates

How do you get one of those gold cards
Internet definitely has a great role in this modern world. My mom used to tell me stories back when she doesn’t know what internet was. It was not that long ago internet was created and in such a short time, it is needed by all of us.
The internet is so complicated but it changes people lives.

Gold is such a great use for computers
I wish I could learn at the speed of light like the androids lol
Would it be possible for something to ever replace the internet?
Is there the potential for a universal internet? Not data, but an internet that encompasses the entire world, or, if not that, an entire country? An internet that exists which would unite people together?

I could not survive w/o internet
It’s amazing how much technology is advancing every day!

To think in less than a century we went from delivering paper messages by horses to instant communication via the internet is truly mind blowing!
My parents have told me how slow internet was and that you couldn’t use it on phones. And now internet is everywhere.
Love this!
Do the ocean cables ever get destroyed?
Technology is so fun to learn about, especially since it’s evolving deeper every year.
It’s cool how fast technology is advancing.
I love science😄
Technology is so fascinating these days. I cant believe how far we’ve come through the years
Thankyou for this episode, the way our technology has changed throughout the years is incredible!
It was great to learn about something we use on a daily basis and the foundation and start of it all!
The internet is so mind-boggling to me because it basically got us to a point of communication and interdependancy that so many people don’t know what they would do without it
amazing
Do the cables in the ocean ever get destroyed?
Very interesting episode!
Love this!
Well done great video.
Such a great video.
I grew up with the internet and never really thought about it, how interesting to see how far its come!
I had no idea that Mr. Billings was part of the invention or concept of the modern day internet.
This episode is so cool considering that the internet wasn’t invented that long ago. My family used to tell me how a computer used to take up a whole room!! Crazy!!!
Very cool!
Very Nice!
Cool!
I loved this video!
it was very cool to see how it worked. Also Dr.B your very smart and you’ve made a big difference.
I might have to have my parents get the gold internet
Very nice episode!!
what would happen if the internet was not a thing.
Impressed by how much Dr. Billings has done.
How can we improve connection software?
who created the wold wide web
I love the idea of the Gold Internet!
I don’t remember if I did this live, but I have been sick for two weeks and i’m trying to fill in the lives that i have missed.
Who invented the world wide web?
Very interesting episode and one of my favorites! i especially liked the end of this episode about the seriousness of the internet and really emphasizing that really got me engaged.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!
Usually these videos my daughter ( student) an I (parent) watch together and she has questions and she wants to know more than I actually understand haha but this time she absorbed all she could and went running to tell her cousins and sisters everything she now knows bout the internet which is amazing since their whole life now needs that information to better use electronics that require the internet .
I’m thankful for the internet so we can homeschool at home.
I think this was cool. Not many people talk about how internet really works.
“Good vibes on the internet!” R-51 is Hilarious Help!!!😭😭😭
I think it’s amazing how the internet signal can travel at such distances and still maintain speed.
It’s honestly so impressive how many different fields Dr. B has impacted 😂 We live in Northern VA and apparently the area has one of the most data centers in the world. And it all started with Dr. B! That is so cool!
I love the idea of the gold internet and. I cannot wait to see this wonderful idea thrive. Thank you!
When can we expect gold keys and the gold internet to be done? what will the gold internet have on it. Dr, Tobais is my favorite person to watch. He makes good points and makes the stuff he’s talking about fun and interesting. I just love the way he explains things.
Dr. B has great ideas and inventions.
My mom has told me when she was in college and it was the intranet not internet and it just connected colleges. No search engine, you had to do it with codes
To see how the internet connects everyone, everywhere is pretty neat!
Thank you for another wonderful episode! While I do use the internet often I am aware of the many dangers. Shout out to California for those horrible fires! I hope everyone is safe and well.
I loved learning about the early computers. Very cool!
This is so cool! Thank you!
how long did it take for internet to become a thing in this world!!
I thought it was awesome to learn that Roger Billings created the first personal computer.
He is super smart and I feel lucky that I am enrolled in Acellus Academy which he created and owns! I know I am going to learn so much from this online school!!
Could or will the future technology get more advanced?
this was cool
I love this!
Wait, on the electric map, why does no electricity lines go through South Dakota? They all stop like on the border of it.
I understand that’s not a full map but seriously, why is South Dakota being left out. Won’t it get lonely?
Please, someone noticed this right?
Acellus is so awesome.
Incredible
How long did it take to develop? I can’t imagine not having internet. I like how you all recognize the importance of safety with using the internet.
cool
The internet is cool
cool
Thank you for the lesson!
I never knew this. is how the internet works! i learned so much.
can’t believe that the internet used to not be a thing idk what I’d do without Wi-Fi that’s for sure
Cool episode
It is crazy to think that Thomas Edison’s invention of the lightbulb is still relevant to the technology of today. I live in Alaska, and we are connected thru fiber that runs along the ocean floor, but we weren’t shown on your map. But more people are beginning to link to Starlink now.
i love R-51 he is so funny
How long did it take it to make internet safe?
R-51 Is so funny
This taught me so much about the internet.
Wow this episode was super interesting and cool!
After using the internet so much in my day-to-day life, finally being able to understand it better is amazing!
It was very interesting to learn about the first computer network. Fascinating!
It takes alot of courgae to have an idea this big and do something about it.
Cool
We are so grateful for you Dr B.!! Thank you for being so caring
So basically Dr. B heavily contributed to the making of the internet, wow that’s truly amazing! Also this Science Live was very inspiring.

How are the cables water proof?
I am a fan of Malachi!! 💚 🩵
how long did it take to devlop platforms on the internet that are safe and reliable?
It’s interesting how Tim Berners-Lee was able to create the first website and also create HTML and HTTP back in 1991.
i love Science Live
Thank you for the information.

I find the whole concept of the internet really interesting and extremely helpful. I wonder why it is called the gold internet.

Do you think that the web will ever be completely secure
The Internet has changed life. When I was in school there was no internet, and we only had one computer in library.
I would love to see what else the internet has to offer to the world. What else could it contribute to our day to day lives?
I can’t believe internet hasn’t always been around!
Great video!
Science is soooooooooooooo amazing!!!
i really enjoyed it i had a question though do the teenagers work there and like is there an acellus college that everyone who dose acellus can go to
On the World Wide Web map, it looks like most of Africa has no internet access. Is that correct? I don’t think R51 will ever not be silly.
I loved learning about the internet.
Excellent truly Excellent
I liked when the Ventioneering Club talked about the internet!!
