Today, September 2, is the Internet's 40th birthday! On this day, 40 years ago, in a test lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, two computers passed test data through a 15-foot gray cable – it was then called the ARPANET. One month later Stanford Research Institute had also joined. By the end of the year, UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah had joined, thus creating the "internet". The Web, as we know it, was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989, when he invented the "World Wide Web" or "WWW".
