1. Emails existed before the wide world web.
I am sure you probably didn't know this or didn't think about it when you composed and sent your emails. Back in the days before all the technology was much advanced, you had to use a computer and a rotary telephone to connect to a service called Micronet; there were no URLs but just numbered web pages during this period. Emails web page number was 7776.
There have been a lot of theories concerning keyboards, but have you ever asked yourself why your phone or pc keyboard looks that way?. The first theory is that telegraph operators designed the QWERTY keyboard layout because it was easier and faster to decipher morse codes.
3. 90 per cent of the world's money is digital.
Has it ever occurred to you that all the money you earn, use to buy goods and services or transact with only exists on computers and hard drives? Only an estimated 8 per cent of the world's currency is globally physical. All the black money piles come from within this 8 per cent. Economists agree on this is a fair estimate, though not an exact figure. This low percentage seems absurd, but it makes sense when you stop to think, considering most large transactions are done electronically anyway.
4.Domain registrations were free till 1995
Nobody knew what the internet was capable of back then, and this was a huge opportunity for people to own all kinds of domain names. In 1995, a company called Network Solutions was granted the right to charge people for domain names. And it was expensive, too: prices typically started at $100 per two years of registration.
As much as 30 per cent of this was a fee that went to the National Science Foundation to create an 'Internet Intellectual Infrastructure Fund'. This fee was later reversed in 1997, bringing the charge down to $70 for two years.
