In 1913 before we even had computers or ARPANET, the Dutch already figured out a way to type something into a transmissible enciphered morse code message (that can't even be cracked by today's computers).

The internet is just the telegraph. It's existed since fucking 1800 or so.
>but we added X
So? Was the first wheel not just as much a wheel as an f1 racecar wheel today?

Yeah, predates arpanet a little bit but not as long as you claim. Source your shit and make this thread worthwhile, so far it's been bad enough to pull me out of lurking

How?

That's a KLB-7 from 1950s thoughbeit.
And it was developed by the ASA.
And it can be broken pretty easily with computers nowadays.
It's still awesome as heck, but almost nothing you wrote about it is accurate.
Unless you had something else in mind and posted the wrong image.
There were Teleprinters going back all the way to the 1840s though, so I guess an encrypted Teleprinter in 1913 is very possible, but pic unrelated.

Obvious lie

>enciphered morse code message
Looks like an electrified enigma machine.

>could send a message over a wire
That is not internet. Internet is data packets transmitted through multiple nodes to a specific address. It is an automated telegraph network or electonic mail system.
