The path is the point.

The Journey Inward and Out

Hiking Day celebrates movement through nature—the most ancient form of meditation. It’s more than exercise; it’s perspective. Each step connects breath with earth, silence with sound, and mind with moment.

In a digital era of screens and noise, hiking resets the nervous system. Studies show even short walks among trees lower cortisol, boost creativity, and rewire the brain for calm. Trails become therapy; peaks become prayer. Whether it’s the Pacific Crest Trail or a neighborhood park, the rhythm of walking realigns us with nature’s original algorithm: balance.

Grounded, mindful, wild—serenity through motion.

How to Celebrate

  • Explore a new trail or revisit an old favorite
  • Go phone-free and focus on sensory experience
  • Leave no trace—pack out what you pack in
  • Invite someone who needs a mental reset

Internet Day

The day the world went online—and America quietly took the lead in a digital revolution.

From ARPANET to Everywhere

National Internet Day is marked every year on October 29, celebrating the day in 1969 when UCLA engineers sent the first electronic message across ARPANET, the network that evolved into the internet. The message was only two letters—“LO”—before the system crashed. But those two characters sparked the beginning of a connected world.

While other nations contributed to the web as we know it, the internet’s roots are firmly American. Built from U.S. government research, university collaboration, and Silicon Valley innovation, the internet became a tool of commerce, communication, culture, and power.

By dominating the infrastructure, platforms, and digital economy, the U.S. effectively “won a silent world war”—not with weapons, but with code, servers, and software. In 2025, America remains home to the biggest tech companies, platforms, and innovations shaping the digital battlefield. National Internet Day is more than nostalgia—it’s recognition of a global shift that began with a flicker of data in Los Angeles.

Innovative, dominant, and futuristic—where technology became the ultimate superpower.

How to Celebrate

  • Revisit the history of the first internet message at UCLA
  • Disconnect for an hour to reflect on how the web changed your life
  • Support internet freedom and privacy initiatives
  • Share your first memory of “logging on”
  • Appreciate the entrepreneurs and engineers who built the backbone of the digital world

Do you see the internet as humanity’s greatest achievement—or its most dangerous invention?

Like any revolution, it depends on how we use the power.

Interesting Facts

  • On October 29, 1969, UCLA computer scientists attempted to send “LOGIN” to Stanford—only “LO” went through before the system crashed.
  • The internet now connects over 5.5 billion people, or nearly 70% of the world’s population.
  • U.S.-based companies dominate: Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon control vast portions of the digital ecosystem.
