International Internet Day

International Internet Day

International Internet Day is celebrated around the world every year on 29 October. This day celebrates one of the greatest human inventions that connects people from around the world. 

On 29 October 1969, the internet was first used by a student programmer named Charlie Kline to send an electronic message reading the word ‘Lo.’ Back then the internet was known as Arpanet. 

The Internet changed human history by connecting people around the world. It gives quick access to information and the chance to communicate with one another. With more than 5 billion users in the world, it has become a necessary part of our daily lives. 

Since 2005, this day has been celebrated to honour the creators of the internet who reshaped modern history. Even during tough times such as the pandemic, it helped students continue their education and kept information available. The internet has opened the door to endless opportunities for the future.
