Winner, winner chicken dinner? Nope.

Bob Metcalf used the term "ethers" to refer to different methods of network connectivity- coaxial cable, radio, light, POTS (telephone), etc.

It was an extension of the xerox ALOHAnet protocols, designed tofunction as a collision detecting half or full duplex networking system using a more easily extensible start topology to compete with the ring topologies then common.

ALL ENERGY IS ETHERIC, IT IS JUST "TAKEN OUT" OF THE etheric to be used. in terms of generating electricity, no generator makes it, just borrows it out of the etheric for work, for example. Perhaps the internet should have been named the ethernet.
