Strictly speaking, it's the Web that is 25. Internet has been around in some form since ARPA decided they'd like a network that continued to work after being nuked.

 

Still, a lot of change in that time. I remember the days when a beard was required to use the Internet. They let anyone on it now.

What is most remarkable is that he gave it away to the world for free. An unbelievable act tbh.
