The internet started in 1969 with ARPANET - a US defense research network linking 4 computers. Email arrived in 1971. The World Wide Web (a system on top of the internet) was invented in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee.
By 1995, the web went public. By 2010, smartphones made it portable. By 2025, more than 5 billion humans are online.
