The World Wide Web, invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989, provided a user-friendly interface for accessing information on the internet, leading to its widespread adoption and the eventual transformation of society, communication, and commerce.
In the late 1960s, the United States Department of Defense initiated ARPANET, a project aimed at creating a decentralized network to facilitate communication among its research institutions. This project laid the groundwork for the internet as it is known today.
Throughout the 1970s and 80s, advancements in networking protocols and technologies, such as TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), further expanded the capabilities of interconnected computer networks.
