Abstract
This is an invitation to a journey from our communication technology’s past to the technological borders of today and beyond to the unknown. We will jump back in time for about three generations to become aware of the major steps of progress we have achieved in the past 50 years. From there we will move forward in three main paths, covering the invention of the (inter-networking) network, the development of hard- and software, and the advance of mobile communications. We will have a look at how these three streams of development eventually merged into one and how it led us to the technological reality of today. If you have been part of this story yourself, or if you already know all about it, you may want to read it anyway with a smile of remembrance. If you do not want to repeat this part, please feel free to jump ahead a couple of pages to Sect. 4.
