I couldn't be on the internet without some kind of firewall attached to my network. I have to many things to do then to spent my time getting rid of viruses or formatting my computer. Firewalls do so much for people even if people don't even realize they are there, they are still there protecting us.

The first published description of a "modern" firewall including use of that name was in 'Practical Unix Security' written in 1990 and published in 1991. The first description of a firewall, although not by that name, was also in 1990, in a paper by Bill Cheswick.
