In his article The internet: Everything you ever need to know, John Naughton lists nine key concepts about the Internet to help us understand that profound impact it is having, and will continue to have, on our lives. Reading number 3 “DISRUPTION IS A FEATURE, NOT A BUG” I found myself drawing parallels to the design of the Internet and the design of the Unix operating system. The similarities are no accident, as the history of Unix and the Internet became closely intertwined after DARPA’s 1980 decisions that the BSD Unix team would implement the brand new TCP/IP stack which controls how data packets are routed between machines on the Internet.
