When did the internet officially begin?

This often depends on who you ask, but the general consensus is it came into being after the creation of ARPANET, which was established in 1969 by the USA’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) but didn’t become an international network until the late 1970s, when the British Post Office, Telenet and others hopped onboard. By 1981, the system had grown to accommodate most of Europe, Canada, Hong Kong and Australia.
