The Oldest Domain Name On The Internet

I was 17 at the time. I think I was running an Apple IIe, making spreadsheets with Appleworks at the time

 

i'm still older than these domains hahaha. but i really had no idea they already existed in 1985. i always thought the internet was born much later

 

Whoa, I didn't even know domains existed in the 80's! I am outta the loop!! *JAW DROPPING*

 

Wow! didn't know there's domains in my age!!

That's not the beginning of the internet; I was using it in 1985 before there were any domains. There used to be a static "hosts" file that was copied from server to server, which contained a master name-to-IP-address mapping. When a new host came online, a new file would be generated and sent around. Works fine when the internet has a few hundred hosts; would not be so fine today.

 

Interesting, those were the days when the term "internet" was not know to everyone
