The internet was first developed in the late 50s, early 60s as a way of communication, and method of sending data by the US military. It was specifically designed to not have a 'central' location, ie, destroying one building would stop it. It was developed in response to the USSR launching Sputnik into space. It also was used to improve troop morale by way of smut.
