Many people think that the Internet was launched in the 1990s and this worldwide phenomenon had a boost in the beginning of the new millennium.
However, Internet was really created 44 years ago, specifically in 1969 in the U.S., as an information technology for the military offering a network with scale and redundancy, in order to offer military internet users the same performance regardless of their size, and be able to recover from damages in one or more of its componentes.
These characteristics were considered critical in the cold war when the nuclear threat was still on.
The Internet was only open to commercial use in 1991, therefore many people think that the Internet was created only at that time.
