The document provides a history of the development of the Internet from 1965 to the present. It discusses how ARPANET was established in 1969 to connect universities and defense bases. In the 1980s, the National Science Foundation joined the project and established NSFNet. By the 1990s, commercial networks took over as ARPANET shut down and NSFNet funding ended. Today, over 50% of US households are online and access is globally available. The rest of the document discusses the development and workings of the World Wide Web and how to use search engines to find information on the web.
