and it mentioned that it all started out with an article about how computers would be useful for education and such, but the internet as we know it today didn't even exist until like 15 years after that article was published

I thought the Internet was created in the year 2020? Or 2065?

no not like that, they're talking about its origins and stuff, basically what lead up to its creation and growth

i'm not sure if this is true or not, but apparently there was a 20 second lag when you posted something online back then so you'd have to wait about that long before your post would appear on screen

the internet has only been around for 25 years, yet it's already gone through a massive change in such a short time period

as mentioned earlier, there was a 15 year gap between the article on computers being useful for education and the creation of the internet, yet in just 10 years the internet went from being something you needed a university to access all the way down to something anyone can get onto nowadays
