The prototype for the Internet was created in the sixties by the US Defense Department. To ensure that communication could be kept open in the event of a nuclear attack, it created a computer network known as Arpanet — the Advanced Research Project Agency Network.
The first attempt to connect two computers and allow them to communicate with one another was made by researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles and the Stanford Research Institute on 20 October 1969.
The first people to coin the term "Internet" were two scientists, Vinton Cerf (known as "farther of the Internet") and his collaborator, Bob Kahn, who in 1974 devised a means by which data could be transmitted across a global network of computers.
An Oxford graduate, Tim Berners-Lee, set up the first "www server" (a server receives and sends messages) to store the archive of the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Switzerland.
The first e-mail ever sent was in 1972 between computers in two American universities. It said "qwertyuiop" (the top line of the computer keyboard).
The most frequently used search word on the net is "sex", typed in 1,550,000 times every month.
The most mentioned male on the Internet was President Bill Clinton, whose name was linked to 1,842,790 sites.
The most mentioned female on the Internet is the actress Pamela Anderson, whose name is linked to 1,542,282 sites.
