10 Things You Didn't Know About The Internet. by supernova094(m): 5:29pm On Feb 11, 2018
And since most millennials like myself only really began using the internet like 10 years ago, it means I get to have a perfectly wonderful excuse for not knowing a few of these key facts about the internet.

#1. Popular mechanics in year 1949 imagined that computers of the future would in fact, weigh 1.5 tons.

#2. Bill Gates began programming at the age of 13.

#3. Microsoft made $16,005 in it’s first year. Last year,more than 40 years after, according to public financial reports, they made over $90 billion!

#4. Approximately 1/3 searches on the internet are actually pornography related.

#5. The second most expensive domain name in the world is Business.com and it costed $7.5 million in 1999. The most expensive domain name in the world is Sex.com, sold in 2006 to Escom, LLC at a ridiculous $14 million!
