Internet history

The Internet began in the 1960s as a project called ARPANET, designed for researchers to share information. In the 1980s, it expanded with protocols like TCP/IP, allowing diverse networks to connect. The introduction of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s revolutionized access to information, allowing users to navigate with web browsers. Email and instant messaging quickly emerged as popular communication tools. By the late 1990s and 2000s, social media, e-commerce, and streaming services transformed how we interact and consume content, making the Internet an integral part of daily life globally.
