The Internet has grown very fast over the last few decades, but we have never really stopped to take the time out to understand just how fast it has grown. With the increased growth comes increased volumes of traffic and those numbers are continually growing. This infographic created by WhoIsHostingThis details the Internet’s timeline from 1969 to present day.
Just a few facts from the infographic: In 1998 there were 50 million users and today there are over 2,7 billion people using the Internet. From only 130 websites in 1993 to 634 million websites today, the Internet is literally the interwebs.
