For how long have people been using the internet?

Answer 1

People began to commonly use the internet with the introduction of Windows 95 in 1995.

There was some demand for internet access in 1993 and 1994, which lead to the introduction of Windows 95. But Windows 3.11 was able to connect to the Internet via the "Winsock" programmes. These early programs were very difficult to use, and not for those who were unadventurous. Windows 95 was an operating system that was built with the internet in mind, contradicting earlier versions of Windows that were not friendly with the internet.

Electronic mail had also been in common use for some time before 1995 via services, such as CompuServe.

Arpanet started in the 1960's. I started using the Internet in the beginning of the 1990's. The origins of the Internet reach back to the 1960s when the United States funded research projects of its military agencies to build robust, fault-tolerant and distributed computer networks. This research and a period of civilian funding of a new U.S. backbone by the National Science Foundation spawned worldwide participation in the development of new networking technologies and led to the commercialization of an international network in the mid 1990s, and resulted in the following popularization of countless applications in virtually every aspect of modern human life. As of 2009, an estimated quarter of Earth's population uses the services of the Internet.
