Al Gore said in a 1999 interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” While that wasn’t quite true, the internet does have a history. Regardless of how or who created it, it has certainly evolved ever since.

Here’s a short history of the internet..

1. First, the internet was created by nerds for nerds. (Since only nerds were getting online at that time)

Programming, numbers, BBS, email, databases, all that stuff.

2. Then it was nerds creating content for non-nerds. (The nerds were making money off of you)

The internet takes off, web developers create popular sites, advertisers pay big money to get noticed.

3. Now, nerds are creating the ability for non-nerds to create content. (web 2.0)

This is how the internet was always supposed to be. To get noticed for your quality content not because of your advertising dollars.
