Speculation!!  

FACT 1) Carrier Pidgeons were used during WWI to carry some messages from the front line. Written in ink on paper and tied to their legs.

FACT 2) Modern Computers were created during WWII in order to produce accurate gunnery tables and for cracking of cypher codes.

FACT 3) The cathode ray tube was developed into a picture tube as a result of the development of RADAR during WWII. (you do like your monitor I take it.)

FACT 4) ARPANET was created as a communications system to link military and development establishments, it was theorized during WWII and developed during the Cold War.

FACT 5) The Transistor and The Microprocessor were developed during the Cold War to guide ICBMs, Missiles and the rockets used in the space program.

Without the war impotus and funding to drive those developments there would be no internet and no computers to connect to it and NO VIDEO GAMES!. That's NOT speculation you  :tool: It's historical FACT!


:troll: :troll: :troll: :troll:

OK You're clearly absolutely right and anything anybody else has to say is clearly absolutely wrong....  :laugh2: :laugh2:

Nuf Said!! Not going to waste any more time on you and I suggest nobody else does either.

Best Regards,

It doesn't matter how history unfolded. You have no idea how it would have unfolded if things were different, and neither does anyone else. Hence, "speculation".

You don't have the authority to redefine the word "troll" (no, it doesn't mean "someone who disagrees with me").

You've initiated insults and played the "troll card" in only your second post on this thread. Feel free to consider yourself done. Your resignation...
