Quarter of world online as Internet reaches 40 year landmark


Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Internet! It seems amazing to think that 40 years ago "Lo" was sent 400 miles from the Pentagon for the Aapenet project. What this has done has transformed the world. 25% of the world has access to the internet, that's 1.67 billion people. So right now, say thank you to Mr Kline, Mr Duvall and later on, Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
