Bush (this is **not** a political piece it did actually happen as a result of an SEO tactic called “google bombing”).įinally, there was a myth (really, more of a misunderstanding) that by adding certain symbols around text in an email, one could make that text disappear upon reading. Yet another was that if you googled “miserable failure”, you would see the bio of then US President George W.

One myth was that the internet itself “escaped” from the Pentagon and was a way of surveilling every person who used it.

This “dark age of the internet” is a result of outdated file formats, corrupt software, and obsolete technologies. The early internet is the stuff of much legend and lore-perhaps because so little of it was documented or recorded.
