The Internet is 10 years old on 6 August 2001:

"On 6 August 1991, the first draft of the world wide web protocols was posted by Tim Berners-Lee to the alt.hypertext newsgroup on Usenet. The protocols bind the web together and make it possible to leap from page to page via highlighted links. [...] Berners-Lee and Robert Caillou developed the protocols to help the army of scientists working at the Cern laboratory keep up with each other's research, but everyone immediately saw its wider potential. Prior to the work of Berners-Lee, tracking down information on the internet required the patience of a saint. The idea of a more straightforward linking and cross-referencing of electronic documents - so-called hypertext - had been around since 1945, but the 1991 WWW protocols were a practical way to make it happen."
