distribution center the size of more
than 20 football fields here’s a
business lesson for all you aspiring
mojo holic entrepreneurs don’t let your
company name remind consumers
a cadaver and if I fail am I going to
regret having tried and failed and I
knew the answer that was no in 1994 Jeff
Bezos encountered such a dilemma and
dropped the name Cadabra for a more
consumer-friendly plan by creating
amazon.com Bezos ensured that his
company would top alphabetized list and
by recognizing the potential for online
shopping he focused on the idea that
everybody likes to read and listen to
music Heinz ketchup Beats headphones the
bagel bite original guillotine bagel
slicer every product sold by Amazon
started streaming the same way and so
what began as an easy to find book store
transformed into a multi-billion dollar
empire while it was Michael Aldrich that
first invented online shopping in 1979
it was Bezos that took it to the next
level
along with piaggio media who created
eBay in 1995 during that first two year
period we were growing 20 to 50% every
month every single month and some ones
were 70% number 8 Google goes public
shares of Google the company that makes
the world’s most popular internet search
engine went on sale to great fanfare
today today the term Google it is
recognized by most individuals capable
of operating a computer somebody did
their homework I have this thing at work
it’s called Google however back in 2004
Google was more of a suggestion rather
than a daily essential oh sorry I just
got this message from a Nigerian prince
needs help getting 10 million dollars
out there I like to pay attention to
these because that’s how we originally
funded the company created by Stanford
PhD students Larry Page and Sergey Brin
the company’s official mission statement
has always been quote to organize the
world’s information and make it
universally accessible and useful and
well it’s safe to say that this Mountain
View California organization quickly
reached the summit following its initial
public offering in the mid naty’s yeah
that’s kind of you have to look down on
it and all that but it’s also kind of a
nervous habit like you know if I smoked
I’d probably just smoke instead I would
just light up cigarette
it would look cooler number seven the
mention up Wi-Fi I know you can get
Wi-Fi on campus anywhere 24/7 do you
think they mean Wi-Fi the drug or Wi-Fi
like the Internet you brain there once
was a day when people read physical
books and coffee shops but now they read
Hemingway from a tablet while googling
clever pickup lines so that we could
have mass numbers of students logging on
any given spot on the college property
and there would be no issues yes it’s
hard to imagine a world without Wi-Fi a
world in which human beings were forced
to ignore people in a more creative way
no Instagram to know what it feels like
to be on edge but in 1991 the NCR
corporation changed everything in
conjunction with AT&T as the first
wireless products were established for
cashier systems we’re gonna see if I
have a really good signal my bedroom and
a really good signal living room which
also had dropped out in there call it
what you want W LAN or Wi-Fi what’s
important is that you have the correct
password always know your home Wi-Fi
password and always know how to find a
Wi-Fi password in public you can go to
any residential area in a European or US
city you will always find a free
internet connection because there are
tens of access points within reach
there’s always someone who will share it
with you for free it just might save
your life or prevent someone from having
a meltdown due to a lack of Internet

the Internet with products like this
still being created as recently as 2007
initially known as Project purple Steve
Jobs collaborated with Cingular Wireless
to create something far more compact
than a tablet and by that we mean he
gave us the Jesus phone or at least

internet milestone that led to a nation
of mojo holics you get top 10 lists on
Spaceship and you know what none of this

Jackson’s famous wardrobe malfunction
during the Superbowl halftime show when
Javed Kareem couldn’t easily find a clip

exchange of electronic mail that’s how I
see emails electronic mail and you

satisfied with number three ARPANET we
wanted to build a digital communication
system which would stand on its own
right as a better more economical a
higher performance and faster and more
reliable digital communication system
okay we know what you’re thinking what
the f is ARPANET well you might say it’s
the foundation for all digital
technology back in the 60s there was a
select group of techy nerds who were
secretly geeking out and working on a
concept that would change the world as
we know it this kind of a network can be
made to be extremely reliable since an
effective control can be placed upon the
design of each of these amps in essence
ARPANET was all of
packet-switching which ultimately led
not only to transmission control
protocol or TCP but also internet
protocol it was I think the single
largest engineering invention of the
20th century in other words without good
old ARPANET which stands for Advanced

existed and that you could send email
but there was no websites so those no H
GPUs no Gmail there’s no space or things
you could click through here are the
facts by the early 90s a collection of
game changers was developing the
infrastructure for a system that would
connect us all through the internet and
it connects those minds across all
boundaries not only ethnicity gender and
age but even time and space and by
January of 1991 the first web servers
were operating you might know the name
CERN from Dan Brown’s book and its
subsequent film adaptation angels and
demons but the real story is that CERN
was at the forefront of the world wide
web inception back in the day we asked
