The Web or better known Internet has revolutionised the world. It has given birth to next level digital communication. The creation of the Internet has led to political, social, and digital advancement that wasn’t known before.
‘The first work on the internet began back in 1969 as part of a United States military funded research project. It wasn’t actually called “the internet” until 1984 when just 1,000 hosts at university and corporate labs successfully linked, but by 1998, 50 million people were using the internet, which was supported by 25 million servers. It took another 11 years for the internet to reach 1 billion users in 2009, but just three years later in 2012, the global internet population topped 2.1 billion people. Today, more than 2.7 billion people are using the internet around the world, which equates to 47% of the world’s population.’ (Susan Gunelius, 2013)
The history of the Web/Internet is a long and complicated one. Below is a video I have included that simplifies the most important parts in the creation of what the Internet has become today.
