Sent the first email and introduced the "@"

Ray Tomlinson sent the first email in 1971 and introduced the "@" symbol to separate the user's name from their computer's address, establishing the user@host format used today. He sent this pioneering message between two computers on the ARPANET, the precursor to the modern internet, to himself.

Proposed the World Wide Web (WWW)

British scientist Tim Berners-Lee proposed the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN, with the intention of facilitating the exchange of information among scientists. The idea was to unite existing technologies such as personal computing, networks, and hypertext to create an easy-to-use global information system.

Theoretical work on packet switching

Began in the 1960s with pioneers like Paul Baran in the U.S. and Donald Davies in the UK, who independently developed the core concepts of breaking data into packets, transmitting them independently, and reassembling them at the destination.

Google was founded

Google was founded on September 4, 1998, in Menlo Park, CA, by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Google has become an integral part of our daily lives, serving as the go-to source for information, historical research, entertainment, and communication.

The first .COM domain name

The first .com domain name ever registered was symbolics.com on March 15, 1985, by the Symbolics Computer Corporation of Massachusetts. This historic registration marked the beginning of the commercial internet's domain name system, even though the World Wide Web wouldn't exist for several more years.

Wikipedia is launched

Wikipedia was launched on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger as a complementary project to the more structured Nupedia. Named by Larry Sanger, the site combined the Hawaiian word for "quick" (wiki) with "encyclopedia" to create a collaborative, user-generated online encyclopedia that rapidly grew into the massive, multilingual resource known today.
