Original: Question of the Day: What was the first message ever sent over the internet?

News outlet KVAL is asking readers a trivia question: what was the first message ever sent over the internet? The widely cited answer is that the first ARPANET message, sent on 29 October 1969 between UCLA and Stanford, was meant to be 'LOGIN' but the system crashed after just two letters, making 'LO' the first message.

Why now: The trivia question has resonated as a nostalgic reminder of the internet's humble beginnings.
