The first internet message sent in 1969 was "lo." The meaning and efficacy of messages sent via the internet has been declining ever since:
"On October 29, 1969, [the] message ['lo'] became the first ever to travel between two computers connected via the ARPANET, the computer network that would become the Internet. The truncated transmission traveled about 400 miles (643 kilometers) between the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Stanford Research Institute. The electronic dispatch was supposed to be the word 'login,' but only the first two letters were successfully sent before the system crashed. ...
"Created by the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency, the original ARPANET was a network of just four computer terminals installed at universities and research institutions in California and Utah. With its truncated missive 40 years ago, today ARPANET became the world's first operational packet-switching network.
