Ok Google, How Old is The Internet?

On this day in 1969, scientists at UCLA used the interconnected network they called ARPAnet to successfully send a message to their counterparts at Stanford.

 

Today, the Internet and its 60 trillion web pages connect nearly 3 billion people around the world, allowing us to search, chat, watch, read and learn in ways that seemed all but impossible 45 years ago.

 

In honor of the occasion, our friends at +YouTube pulled a few videos to celebrate. Think of them as home movies chronicling the history of some of the Internet’s greatest gifts: emoticons, GIFs, and memes. HBD Internet! http://goo.gl/eVs5zS
