摘要

The birth of the Internet, 35 years ago last month, marked the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's finest hour. The R&D arm of the U.S. Department of Defense laid the groundwork for that breakthrough with experiments in high-reliability telecommunications called Arpanet and Darpanet. Today's World Wide Web is the improbable legacy of an agency focused mainly on futuristic weaponry and intelligence-gathering techniques. Darpa's more recent adventures in information technology have met with much less acclaim. Fifteen months ago the agency came under fire for trying to use market principles to gauge the probabilities of future catastrophes. Critics derided the idea as a "terrorism futures market" that invited investors to profit from such unsavory events as a nuclear explosion or political assassination.
