What is the Internet?
Did you know?
- The foundation of the Internet began in 1969, when the U.S. Department of Defense created ARPAnet, a project to allow military personnel to communicate with each other in an emergency.
- By 2012, the number of Internet users worldwide reached 2.4 billion—about one-third of the world's population.
- To store all of the information that's available on the Internet, you would need more than 1 billion DVDs or 200 million Blu-ray discs.
