On this very day, 54 years ago, the first permanent link was established for what we now know as the internet. As business owners, we've come to rely on the internet more than ever. From reaching out to customers across the globe to managing remote teams, the internet has truly become a lifeline for our operations. So, here's to the birth of the internet! And remember, no matter how much technology evolves, it's the human connections that make it meaningful. #InternetBirthDay #OnThisDay #TechHistory https://hubs.ly/Q029s9GW0

Well, it's about time I shared some pretty exciting news with you all! 🌍 For months, I've been deep in the grind, working on setting up nodes in Argentina. This project is super close to my heart because, as many of you know, I'm all in when it comes to Internet Computer and the whole idea of making the network more decentralized. And let's not even get started on my server-side passion from my Web2 days – being able to work with my own servers now, or should I say nodes, is like a blast from the past, reminding me of those days I happily spent as a data center rat. 🐀🖥️💾 Today, I'm stoked to tell you that I'm putting forward a proposal to bring a new node provider to the Southern Cone. This is huge because, believe it or not, this region doesn't have any active nodes yet! It's an opportunity to not only fuel my nostalgia but also to make a tangible impact on the network's growth and decentralization. 🚀 So, here's to taking a step back in time while pushing forward into the future of tech. I'm thrilled to be at the forefront of this adventure, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes us. Cheers to new beginnings and to making the Southern Cone a key player in the Internet Computer game! 🥂 Please help me by voting on the proposal: https://lnkd.in/g2X34YHg #Decentralization #InternetComputer #NodeAdventures DFINITY ICP.Hub North America ICP.Hub LATAM - Internet Computer Protocol - Hub Latin America

Jay Goninen great write up! A few items from the article stood out to me and I would like to share some thoughts on one of them. "Current service manager's snapshot" Any service manager that feels the way that SM you described felt, must make the time to train his replacement. (not in a literal way) I'll come back to that! "Running around like a chicken with my head cut off" is a leader that has the ability to deal with many challenges, (hence the reason they earned their position as a SM), and have all the undoubted wisdom to solve any challenge and everyone,(including your own team) relies on them to solve every problem. Major problem. I was one of those SM. I had to take a step back and remove the "blinders" and re-access what my ultimate goal was. I was always stuck fixing the problems, instead of being the leader, and trainer I needed to be. (Where did my day go?) Taking on the task to solve all the problems didn't help my team either. It stunted their growth. After reflecting (with "the end in mind" -Franklin Covey was a genius) and re-accessing what I wanted to achieve, I challenged my team to come up with their ideas of how to solve a problem (with a cap in time for getting it solved). I asked them, "when you bring me a problem/challenge, bring along your idea for a solution as well." Not to my surprise did my team begin to take on these challenges, solve them, advise me on what the outcome was, rejoice, and my work load got easier. I was aloud the time to be the leader my team needed and the trainer they deserved. Allowing them the opportunity to implement their solution and figure it out, (with my guidance), I let them feel the fruits of taking on the challenge, solving them, and allowing me the time to implement ideas to grow the business. Coming back to "training my replacement" as a SM or any leader, we are responsible for the quality of work we deliver to our guest. From the write-up delivery to the active delivery, our availability to lead and train our teams is time sensitive. We were hired to produce results, and help sustain, train our department, and not just put out fires. Allowing me the time to train, opened up other opportunities for overall growth. Cheers!

#techhistory A Landmark Day for the Internet 🌐 Connecting the Dots: The Birth of Internet Communication 🚀 Fifty-four years ago, on August 29, 1969, a pivotal moment in technology history occurred that would forever change the way we communicate, work, and connect with each other. On this day, the first network switch and the groundbreaking Interface Message Processor (IMP) were sent to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), marking the birth of what would evolve into the modern Internet. 📡 ARPANET and the IMP: A Game-Changing Collaboration The project was part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), a visionary initiative funded by the United States Department of Defense's @Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). The IMP, often considered the first router, was designed to facilitate communication between different nodes on the ARPANET, enabling computers to exchange messages and data like never before. 🌍 The Impact on the World What started as an experimental network soon laid the foundation for the interconnected global web we know today. The successful implementation of the IMP technology paved the way for the creation of a vast network that transcended geographical boundaries and brought people, information, and ideas closer together. 🔗 From ARPANET to the Internet Age The journey from that momentous day in 1969 to the present day has been one of continuous innovation, collaboration, and expansion. The principles that guided the development of #ARPANET - open protocols, decentralized communication, and interoperability - are still at the core of the modern Internet. 💡 Reflecting on Progress, Embracing the Future It is remarkable to reflect on how far we've come and the potential for even greater advancements in the years ahead. From simple text-based exchanges to the immersive experiences and global connectivity we enjoy today, the journey of the Internet is an ongoing testament to human ingenuity and the power of technological progress. #InternetHistory #TechInnovation #ARPANET #DigitalRevolution #Innovation #TechHistory
