minus-squareIWW4@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·4 days agoExactly what is the “entire narrative of the Internet” and when did it start? What is there to sort out?
minus-squareshalafi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 days agoI peg the start around 1994. By then it was a household term, computers and dial up were fast becoming ubiquitous, people were learning to navigate the web, etc.
minus-squareSwordgeek@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 days agoA lot of people equate ‘the internet’ with the web, which would be 1989. Others will point to when they got their first email address, some years before that. Really though, you should be looking at the beginning of ARPANET, which goes back to 1969.
