Times are bad, children no longer obey their parents and everyone's got a blog. In honour of "This is NOT the 20th Birthday of the Internet Day" 2009 : comments.
I would argue that the birth of the Internet, as opposed to A internet(work) would have to be related to the use of TCP/IP rather than NCP. A precise date could be argued (maybe the meeting where if I recall When Wizards Stay Up Late correctly, someone pointed out that TCP and IP could be separated). Alternatively, 1st January 1983 when ARPANet switched to TCP/IP.
