The Internet has been around since the late 1960s. It was originally designed to facilitate communication between computers at universities and research institutions, but it soon became popular with people outside of these institutions as well. In the 1980s, the World Wide Web (WWW) emerged as a way for users to access information on the Internet. Since then, the Internet has grown exponentially in terms of its size, speed, and usage. Today, the Internet is used by billions of people across the globe every day.
