About Internet History


Internet History documents the evolution of the internet and web culture, from early protocols and networks to the social platforms and technologies that shape modern digital life. We focus on the technical developments, cultural moments, and key figures that built the internet we use today.

The coverage includes the history of protocols, browsers, search engines, social networks, and the communities that emerged online. We explore how the internet evolved from a research network to a global platform, and how web culture developed alongside the technology.

Our approach is documentary and editorial: we present the history with context, exploring the decisions, innovations, and cultural shifts that defined each era of the internet. Expect detailed timelines, key events, and the stories behind the technologies.

If you are interested in how the internet came to be, how it evolved, and the culture that grew with it, this is your resource.
