An idea that will facilitate (and fasten) the organization, storing and access of information from scientific progress

common trend in history of the internet; people not getting the credit deserved due to other importance overtaking it. (as discussed in lecture 11/5, with example of Joseph Henry, Michael Faraday and Hans Christian Orsted with the invention of electromagnetism)

In the movie "Hidden Figures", this is demonstrated; Katherine Johnson, a black woman who did the necessary calculations, was called out for adding her name to the calculations. Instead of simply putting Paul Stafford's name (who did the calculations, but did not write the report - she was also the person who ensured all calculations were correct because of her amazing intelligence), she added her name (rightfully so), but got in trouble for it. Though it was not directly stated that it was because she was a black woman, it is not hard to understand that this was the main issue for the white men. They could not fathom that a black woman signed her name on her work. Throughout the film, it is very apparent that black women's contributions were seen as irrelevant to the men.

what he's going to argue/offer while taking all that has been said thus far into consideration (considering the ARPANET and digital networks, etc.

Essentially meaning watching an idea start with a few people and eventually develops into something bigger (which leads to unexpected big changes).

Though the evolution of technologies today have obviously been heavily influenced by its origins, there is always something that needs to be new and exciting, never before seen. Could be a reach, but this could be a great example of how things that are constantly evolving were not created for certain human practices, and that our generations are now greedy, always seeking to be better and to invent more technologically advanced things (an example of this in the automobile context would be self-driving cars; just get a chauffeur at that point. Another example in the context of internet is AI - shows how lazy we are when it comes to research. Google wasn't enough, nor was ChatGPT in its original simplicity of assisting with research, AI has evolved to be so efficient, it has started to bleed into robotics.) Essentially, some things are better left simple.

Supports his earlier claim that "Networking has had an effect on the world more profound than that of the more spectacular and expensive Apollo moon missions"

This development simplified sending messages, surely influencing the future of the internet. If this has never been developed, who knows how the internet would have unfolded.

This sentence essentially calls out ChatGPT for what it really is - a tool that rephrases research found on the internet. You can always find the same information online with a bit of research, and word it more simply according to your understanding (making the content more suitable to you and your use of the knowledge). At the end of the day, ChatGPT is only a tool that summarizes multiple different answers found through research online. Though it's a useful tool to summarize topics at large, it doesn't delve into details of each website, article, etc.
