The Internet, Then And Now

The World Wide Web has come a long way since 400 Arpanet users received the first spam message in May 1978. Journey back to 1969, when the U.S. military-funded research network Arpanet connected four computers, to take a look at the Internet, then and now.

Renamed “the Internet” in 1984, the service reached a milestone moment when it linked 1,000 hosts at university and corporate labs. Almost 15 years later, the Web began making commercial strides, reaching 50 million users in 1998, and later topping 1 billion in 2009.

Today, more than 2.7 billion people — 47 percent of the world’s population — use the Internet in 750 million households across the globe.
