The internet was not created in 1989. 10000 days ago was 1989. The internet is far far older than 10000 days. Dunno where you got this magic number and date from.

ARPANET was founded in 1969, the shut it down in 1990, I don't know if you can call ARPANET the internet though. ARPANET connected all the US universities and some foreign ones too. Originally Posted by Lifetapper

I believe OP is referring to the World Wide Web which, according to Wikipedia, was invented in 1989 by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee.

Not really. English is another way to say British. If you thought he was saying American, he would have said American. Originally Posted by FurryFoxWolf

Tim Berners was English, but saying English is another way to say British is not correct. People from England are English, people from Scottland are Scottish, people from Wales are welsh, and people from Northern Ireland are Northern Irish/Irish. British is the only inclusive term.

The Internet, then known as ARPANET, was brought online in 1969 under a contract let by the renamed Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) which initially connected four major computers at universities in the southwestern US (UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, UCSB, and the University of Utah). The contract was carried out by BBN of Cambridge, MA under Bob Kahn and went online in December 1969. By June 1970, MIT, Harvard, BBN, and Systems Development Corp (SDC) in Santa Monica, Cal. were added. By January 1971, Stanford, MIT's Lincoln Labs, Carnegie-Mellon, and Case-Western Reserve U were added. In months to come, NASA/Ames, Mitre, Burroughs, RAND, and the U of Illinois plugged in. After that, there were far too many to keep listing here.
Who was the first to use the Internet?
Charley Kline at UCLA sent the first packets on ARPANet as he tried to connect to Stanford Research Institute on Oct 29, 1969. The system crashed as he reached the G in LOGIN!
ARPANET was civilian.

Do you have a source, by the way? Been trying to look it up, but no go.
