When did the internet become available for the average person? I think it was around 1997. Was there a day??

Answer 1

The client-server based internet that we know today was born in 1991, however a graphical interface for the internet was not created until 1993 (a program called mosiac)

Deplhi was the first national company to offer commercial on-line services to its subscribers in 1992.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

There was no specific day (or year) that the Internet became available. It has been around since the late 1970's, but in a different form. Originally it was a series of "Bulletin Boards" where people could post message and upload/download files. Not much different from the "blogs" that are suddenly so hot today.

Answer 3

Huh?... just how old ARE you?
