The Internet (spelled with a capital "I", please, as it is a proper noun)
was born in 1969, when RFC-1 got published; it described the IMP and
ARPAnet.
As I said at a club lecture once, there are many internets, but only one
Internet.

Actual data transmissions were first made on October 29 later that year.
If my two-minute research checks out.

This is a problem that I regularly face, when keeping a global calendar.
I'm in Australia (Sydney time), which is pretty much at the leading edge
of the dateline, but most of America is close to the trailing edge, and
therefore events can happen "yesterday".
So, which reference should I use? My time, US time (for US events), or
UTC? I'm starting to lean towards the latter, but it's equally confusing;
I'll have people saying that it happened yesterday, by their reference.
I dimly recall that the moon landings were on GMT (not the same as UTC),
for example.

Clearly UTC, as the name implies.

Moving to Hong Kong has made this a major issue for me as well... It can be strange
sending stuff from the future and getting replies in the past, just as I then forget to
phone people the day after for stuff so I have to slide my calendar+1 day. It's a
shame we don't have a real universal time

From the OED entry of Internet, n. (with a capital I):
"Originally (in form internet): a computer network consisting of or
connecting a number of smaller networks, such as two or more local
area networks connected by a shared communications protocol; spec.
such a network (called ARPAnet) operated by the U.S. Defense
Department. In later use (usu. the Internet): the global computer
network (which evolved out of ARPAnet) providing a variety of
information and communication facilities to its users, and consisting
of a loose confederation of interconnected networks which use
standardized communication protocols; (also) the information available
on this network."
I have seen -- and written it -- abbreviated as "the 'Net". Is this
common about the globe?
