    The Internet began in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik and the establishment of ARPA to create a network linking computers after a potential nuclear attack. This early network eventually became known as ARPANET and used TCP/IP protocols. In the 1980s and 1990s, technologies like email, browsers, and the World Wide Web were introduced, popularizing the commercial use of the Internet. By the late 1990s, e-commerce was growing rapidly as Internet use expanded globally, reaching over 4 billion users worldwide by 2019.
