same answer i gave 40 years ago to my nutjob relatives: yes
Wow..... You mean you told that even before l was born ??๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ
By the way, l saw the birth of the internet.
I was born before we landed on the moon. So could be.
You do know the world has been around longer than 40 years, right?
And you weren't around when the Internet was born if you're under 40, hell if your under 50, using the the 1970s as a generous approximation of the appearance of packet networks, you still weren't around at the birth of the internet.

Wasn't the internet born after the Berlin Wall was broken down and the USSR collapsed ???๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ
No.
I don't remember about the breaking down of the Berlin Wall, but l used to hear about countries called Soviet and West Germany; later l heard that the Soviet had broken up into fragments and that there was now one single Germany. That was long before l heard anything about the internet.
You mean to say that the internet existed during the heights of the Cold War era ?? But l remember reading in magazines how the world will get entangled by a virtual web, called the world wide web..... I used to read such articles in 1994-95...... And then finally l got a taste of the internet in '97 or '98.........
The Internet =|= World Wide Web
