Short Description

 
  "History of the internet" is an animated documentary explaining the inventions from
time-sharing to file-sharing, from arpanet to internet. The clip shows a brief overview
of this history and shall animate to go on discovering the history of the internet.
The history is told with help of the PICOL icons, which are also a part of my diploma.
The icons are available for free on picol.org in the size 32x32 pixel
