when did internet service start
Mention the history of the Internet to a group of people, and chances are someone will make a snarky comment about Al Gore claiming to have invented it. Gore actually said that he took the initiative in creating the Internet [source: CNN]. He promoted the Internet's development both as a senator and as vice president of the United States. So how did the Internet really get started? Believe it or not, it all began with a satellite. It was 1957 when the then Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first man-made satellite.
