The first known use of the word "Internet" was in 1974 by Vint Cerf
and Bob Kahn. And there's a good argument to be made that the real
birth of the Internet was in 1968 with the ARPANET. Although the
ARPANET didn't use TCP/IP, it *was* four host computers in different
cities linked together at 50 Kbps. The Internet is a little older than
most people think it is.
