Do you like living in the ether?
Yes, I have good ethernet.
I just realized how odd that name is.
The idea was first documented in a memo that Metcalfe wrote on May 22, 1973, where he named it after the luminiferous aether once postulated to exist as an "omnipresent, completely passive medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves."
Hmm, I really thought there would be some clever name I didn't understand, but it really is that
aether.
Ether you love it or hate it
Like it or leave it.
You either love hating it or hate loving it
