The most obvious difference between the internet in 2023 and 1982 is its size. In 1982, it was possible to know about everyone who had an e-mail address and list their full names and home addresses in a book Danny described as “deceptively large.” People only used what they needed in the earliest days of IP because that was all they could use without jeopardizing others’ internet activity. These days, there are several warehouses all around the world known as datacenters that exist solely to store data from the internet. With the increasing scope of the internet, more malicious actors came to see harming internet users as a profitable course of action. However, this has also caused the internet to become more secure so it is very unlikely to be brought down in its entirety by one overloaded message processor again.
