This document discusses the history and evolution of the internet from its origins as a US military program called ARPANET in the 1960s to becoming a global network in the 1990s. Key developments included the creation of TCP/IP in the 1970s allowing networks to interconnect, the introduction of the World Wide Web in the 1990s popularizing the internet for commercial and public use, and the dot-com boom of the late 1990s bringing mass internet adoption.
