Google Earth, Wikipedia, YouTube.
These are the backbone of the internet. The great and powerful things the world was truly lacking before the internet.
Google Earth: A continuous map of the entire terrain of our planet, down to the roads and buildings. People feel less separated from each other and more connected with the world when they can see their true place in it.
Wikipedia: Worldwide freedom of information. A compendium of human knowledge at everyone's fingertips.
YouTube: True freedom of speech and expression. The ability of the individual to give their perspective and opinion rather than a local diplomat or representative.

Wonder if the Chinese, Iranians, and North Koreans share your sentiments.
***edit***
I believe ARPANET was the precursor to the internet.

To may things to say. to many pictures to show you. to many sites to link to. to many reasons to give..
But these days i no longer ask or answer this question..
I have another question. "For what Wasn't the internet invented"... spam? corn? viruses? wealth? warfare?
Anyhow let me just end this of with a nice picture.
and a reason we still got CRT's at work
