When the internet began as Arapanet in 1969, it connected one computer at each of four universities. The computing architecture originally designed to connect four hard-wired laboratories in the southwest now connects billions of wired and wireless devices globally.

Nearly 68% of people use the internet to develop new job-related skills, 63% use the internet to improve career prospects, and 61% use the internet to pursue an education.

And it’s getting worse: the speed of networks that serve 3.3 billion people in developing and emerging markets is expected to decline by the year 2023.
