Inside the Global Race to Tap Potent Offshore Wind

Cars That Think

One day soon, a platform 50 times as large may float in the deep waters of the North Sea, buoying up a massive wind turbine to harvest the steady, strong breezes there. About an hour’s ride up the coast, full-scale 3,000-tonne behemoths already float in Aberdeen Bay, capturing enough wind energy to electrify nearly 35,000 Scottish households.

Robert Kahn: The Great Interconnector

Cars That Think

The ARPANET Is Born Kahn wasn’t the only one thinking about connecting disparate computers in the 1960s. In 1965, Larry Roberts, then at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory , connected one computer in Massachusetts to another in California over a telephone line. There were 30 or 40 nodes on the ARPANET at the time.
