The Internet actually had its beginnings way back in the 1950s when the space race with Russia was on. With all of the work going on, there needed to be some way to communicate with scientists and engineers in other locations so the work could be shared and double-checked.

Up until 1992, the Internet was located at educational institutions and government facilities. It was called ARPANET, an acronym for Advanced Research Projects Agency Network.

What Year Was The Internet Invented?

Maybe, sooner. Since they lie all the time.

Some posters are confusing the internet with the world wide web.I might as well copy and paste from Wikipedia:
the World Wide Web was started in 1989 by the English physicist Sir Tim Berners-Lee, now the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, and later by Robert Cailliau, a Belgian computer scientist, while both were working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1990, they proposed building a "web of nodes" storing "hypertext pages" viewed by "browsers" on a network, and released that web in December. Connected by the existing Internet, other websites were created, around the world, adding international standards for domain names & the HTML language.

There's something strangely fitting about Western civilization taking an invention created to help the best and brightest scientific minds share their knowledge of the universe... and using it to distribute cheap porn, Enzyte, and Chuck Norris jokes.

Not that I'm complaining.

thank you god

Or more accurately thank you England (which is basically the same thing!) As the inventor of the world wide web was Sir Tim Berners-Lee. An englishman! :hatsoff:

exactly!!! internet as a way to connect exists much earlier.

but the WWW is the way it looks. And it happened in CERN.

and that's the subject of this topic :hatsoff:
