25 years of SWITCH, 25 years of ".ch" and 25 years of the Internet in Switzerland: accompany us on an exciting journey through time. Back to an era when there were neither e-mails nor websites, and when the Internet was still in its infancy. Come with us on the "Journey through time: from the Sputnik shock to the data highway on the Jungfraujoch".
