Was October 26, 2026 the internet's birthday?
NO
No — the internet's birthday is October 29, when the first ARPANET message was sent in 1969.
Why
- ARPANET's first host-to-host message: October 29, 1969
- October 26, 2026 is three days before that anniversary
- Today's milestone: Windows 8 went public in 2012
