<p>Well since we're playing historian, I agree with Louis that launch of Sputnik/subsequent founding of ARPA is the most appropriate marker.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Since while the protocol itself was an iteration of the NCP and more which came before, much of the work on core concepts and the $$$$$$$ to build packet-switched network technologies - eventually introduced to wider public as the TCP/IP-routed Internet
- stemmed straight from that. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In any case, as the Internet Architecture Board formed in 1979 (initially called the Internet Configuration Control Board), and the Internet Engineering Task Force formed in 1986, it is definitely over-simplifying history to wait for the launch of the web
to talk of the Internet's birthday(s).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But yes of course the launch of the web made packet nets and specifically the Internet much more user-friendly, so really all these milestones should be recognized and celebrated.<br>
</p>

<p><br>
</p>
<p>PS: Personally, I would say the hiring of J.C.R. Licklider by ARPA in 1961 is the moment things seriously started; everything since flowed from that.<br>
</p>
<p>Licklider's memos on an 'Intergalactic Computer Network' from 1962 would be the specific marker I - intergalactically ; ) - suggest folks check out or refresh their recollections of.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Quite right. The migration from NCP to TCP in 1983 is usually associated with Arpanet retirement and Internet birth.<br>

Let me be the first spoilsport to point out that<br>
the Internet is much older than 25 years, and is<br>
much more than just www, but I applaud the spirit...<br>
